First comprehensive retrospective of the Italian photo artist Daniele Tamagni (1975–2017) Collecting Daniele Tamagni’s images of the Congolese sapeurs, Botswana’s afrometals, Bolivian female wrestlers, young dance crews of Johannesburg and more, Style Is Life brings together renowned and unpublished photographs that remind us of the subversive and political value of fashion.  "With every frame of Daniele’s, it’s clear he wasn’t a photographer simply capturing moments detached from the environment or people. He immersed himself in each instant, uniquely positioning himself as a foreign photographer who valued building relationships with subjects."--Aïda Muluneh "Daniele’s images have won a World Press Photo Award, inspired fashion designers such as Paul Smith and Stella Jean, convinced the demanding jury of the ICP Infinity Award and seduced artists such as Solange Knowles."--Chiara Bardelli Nonino Daniele Tamagni (1975-2017), born in Milan, initiated his photographic journey on a self-educated basis, approaching the African world and its diaspora.
