CLAD is the first book wholly dedicated to Jackie Nickerson’s fashion photography, defined by her distinctive, feminist vision. Nickerson has always photographed women for who they are, not what they ought to be; regardless of her subject’s gender, her goal is to express self-identity, never glossy fantasy. In some 400 pages and nearly as many images, this comprehensive volume captures Nickerson’s fascination for clothing, both as object and act, as well as her interest in texture and costume. “I think of clothing as a kind of architecture and part of my job is to find the right environment for it,” she says; often these environments are outside, shaped by changing rhythms of light and a sense of narrative, sometimes theatrical, nearly always open-ended.
