Fashion as Performance: Austn Fischer’s Black-and-White Brilliance

SUNI ponders how fashion photography can reflect our ever-changing selves and inner turmoil.

The Wisconsin-born, London-based photographer Austn Fischer uses black-and-white imagery to explore identity through fashion. His works blend athletic wear with lace and horse-shaped armatures, creating a unique dialogue about body image and personal expression.


Fischer’s photography often reflects his struggle with sexuality and self-identity, using clothing as a medium to convey complex emotions. Through collaborations with clients like Ai Weiwei and David Byrne, he brings a fresh perspective to editorial and commercial projects.


Despite the stark black-and-white palette, Fischer infuses warmth through meticulous playfulness in each piece. His recent artistic pursuits, such as wall painting for introspection, highlight his ongoing journey of self-discovery and emotional understanding.


Fischer invites us to see fashion not just as clothing but as a powerful tool for personal transformation. His work challenges conventional perceptions, encouraging viewers to reconsider their own identities through the lens of fashion.
