With the opening of the exhibition "The Lightness of Being" by one of the most iconic photographers of our time, Peter Lindbergh, Fotografiska Fashion Focus kicks off on February 2nd, during which all three exhibition floors are dedicated to fashion photographers. Stylish special events accompany the works of top professionals in the field.

Peter Lindbergh "The Lightness of Being"

One of the most influential contemporary photographers and legends of the fashion world. Lindbergh's black-and-white images launched the careers of supermodels like Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Christy Turlington.

Elizaveta Porodina "Un/Masked"

Currently one of the most sought-after photographers in the fashion world, Porodina attracts attention from major fashion houses competing to include her in global campaigns. Elizaveta's recognizable painterly style adorned the cover of the January issue of Italian Vogue, among others.

Toomas Volkmann "blastful past"

The largest solo exhibition of one of Estonia's most esteemed fashion photographers tells the story of the artist's nearly 30-year creative journey through more than 100 photographs, reflecting both the painful fragility of the 1990s and the arrogant gloss aesthetics of the 2010s.

Fashion Month concludes on March 10th with the final day of Toomas Volkmann's exhibition "blastful past" at Tallinn Fotografiska.

On Friday, February 2nd, Fotografiska will host the opening party for the exhibition "The Lightness of Being" by Peter Lindbergh, one of the most iconic fashion photographers of our time. As the destination for inspiring events, we will exclusively open our doors, providing you with the opportunity to get closer to Lindbergh's art than anyone else and much earlier.

Renowned Estonian photographer Toomas Volkmann presents the work of one of the most influential and timeless photographers in the world, Peter Lindbergh, at the exhibition "The Lightness of Being" on February 10th at 3:00 PM. Volkmann's storytelling adds a compelling, inspiring, and immediate dimension to the exhibition experience, providing significant added value. Lindbergh has been a source of inspiration for Volkmann, and this tour offers an extraordinary opportunity to explore the artistic realms and visual narratives of both photographers simultaneously.

Champagne tasting event will be held on February 17th inspired by the work of the world's most influential photographer, Peter Lindbergh.

Renowned musician Kitty Florentine drew inspiration from Elizaveta Porodina's exhibition "Un/Masked" and met with the artist during the opening week. The vibes aligned, and Kitty translated Elizaveta's magical art into musical notes. For one evening only the creations of these two powerful women will merge, giving Elizaveta Porodina's exhibition a unique musical resonance.

Toomas Volkmann's exhibition "blastful past" will be ignited into action during its final weekend by performance artists Florian Wahl and Johhan Rosenberg, along with artist Kris Lemsalu.
