"To approach this minimalist mindset from the direction of photography, I set my focus with the students on the legendary 'Power of the white shirt' stories from American, as well as Italian Vogue by Peter Lindbergh. The semester assignment is thus to create an iconic fashion photo using a simple white shirt."

That's the task that photographer Prof. Anna Rosa Krau of the SRH Berlin University of Applied Science assigned to the students of the class "Fashion Photography: Foundations & Sustainable Photography" as their semester project.

To do so, Anna Rosa reached out to Merz b. Schwanen and we provided each student with a white piece to support this project.
