Viviane Sassen’s photographic approach in In and Out of Fashion explores the interplay between fashion imagery and art photography, revealing unconventional perspectives within editorial contexts. The images examine texture, form, and abstraction, often employing striking compositions that blur the boundaries of the fashion genre.

The 296-page collection, published by Prestel in 2013, documents Sassen’s distinctive style which merges documentary elements with surreal, sculptural aesthetics. Throughout the work, the mood shifts between dynamic movement and still, contemplative moments, highlighting the relationship between clothing, body, and environment.
