Rocio Segura’s new fashion photography opening at Empire Hotel in NYC this Friday 9PM.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Herbert Fox Productions presents Rocio Segura’s fashion photography exhibition: ‘Feline’

THE EXHIBITION

This Friday at 9pm atop the glamorous Empire Hotel, Herbert Fox Productions presents an unmissable evening of high fashion and art: the ‘Top of the World Rooftop Runway Show’, featuring fashion photography by Rocio Segura and a private viewing of the latest collections from Jypsea Leathergoods and Born Again Vintage.
Following the success of her critically acclaimed exhibition earlier this month at XVI Lounge, Segura has been invited to present a selection of new works as part of her fashion photography project ‘Feline’. In contrast to her renowned colorful and subversive style, the photographer will show six striking black and white images reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour combined with contemporary iconography and photographer Irvin Penn – a modern day take on the alluring look of 1920’s starlets.
On the project, Segura explains: I wanted to take things back to basics and shoot photos that simply bring out the stunning, almost otherworldly beauty of their subjects”. The result is a collection of sultry, sensual portraits that are bound to catch the viewer’s eye – and their imagination, taking them on an escape to an ever-glamorous past.
