Bela Borsodi was born in Vienna and has lived and worked in New York City since the early 1990s. He studied fine art and graphic design and often incorporated photography in his projects. His work offers a surreal imagery that makes clothing and accessories 3-dimensional. His “Foot Fetish” story for V Magazine received both negative and positive responses, which ended up sparking discussions on how the female body is sexualized and objectified in fashion and in art.
