== After the deaths of Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Francesco Scavullo, Herb Ritts, Gleb Derujinsky and Peter Lindbergh, some of today's most famous fashion photographers are Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel, Mario Testino and Annie Leibovitz. ==

== In 1983 Vanity Fair took in Annie Leibovitz as the first chief photographer to continue Steichen’s legacy within modern photography through celebrity portraits. ==

== In 1909, Condé Nast took over Vogue magazine and also contributed to the beginnings of fashion photography. In 1911, photographer Edward Steichen was "dared" by Lucien Vogel, the publisher of Jardin des Modes and La Gazette du Bon Ton, to promote fashion as a fine art by the use of photography. Steichen’s high esteem as a photographer led him not only to Vogue as the chief photographer, but Vanity as well, for fourteen years. ==
