How to Make It in Fashion: June 21, Dream Hotel Downtown, New York

Get Your Portrait Done by Rankin



If you have even the slightest interest in fashion, you know photographer Rankin and his work. Renowned for his intimate portraits–and for co-founding the iconic culture and photography mag Dazed & Confused–he’s shot everyone from Madonna to the Dove “Real Women” campaign.

Rankin’s latest exhibit, “Open,” is coming to Milk Gallery from May 24 to June 10 and is a culmination of 20 years of his work.

But maybe more importantly: from June 1-5 at Milk Studios, you have a chance to participate in Rankin Live. The photographer is inviting people with “unique personalities and style” aged 16 and over to submit a photo and brief statement. The most original applicants will be invited to Milk to pose for a portrait shot by Rankin. For this project he’s working with Oxfam, the international development agency whose mission is to alleviate poverty and suffering. Each portrait will cost $100, and all the profits will go to Oxfam. $100 for a Rankin portrait? That’s unbelievable.

Think you can be a Rankin muse? Send your submission to rankinliveusa@rankin.co.uk. He’ll be shooting portraits of the chosen few at Milk Gallery from June 1-5.
