Unquestionably, the photographers whose works are featured in this exhibition belong to the second category.

Coming into Fashion will visit Zurich, Paris, Florida and Tokyo after its Edinburgh run from 15 June till September 8.

Richard Lewis, the city council's culture leader, added: "It really is a fantastic coup for the City Art Centre to bring Coming into Fashion to Edinburgh - the one and only opportunity to view the exhibition on these shores. Featuring work by some of the biggest names in the history of fashion photography, I'm sure it will be a huge draw over the summer months.
