KT Auleta was introduced to fashion photography when she arrived in New York
City to work at Interview magazine as an assistant art editor.
Years later, she dropped her photo portfolio off at Self Service magazine and was assigned the 20-page story that became her first full fashion editorial. Around the same time she wrote her first script, but Auleta’s photo career had taken off—and so the film was put on the backburner. Five years later, she returned to the project, and the script became the short film, RUNAROUND(2009). She subsequently began to unite her two worlds, and now is often directing as much as shooting stills. Her work has been published in two books by Taschen, Pucci, and Tachen’s 100 Contemporary Fashion Contemporary Fashion Designers.
THE EDITORIAL WORK HAS APPEARED IN ITALIAN VOGUE, CHINESE VOGUE, T MAGAZINE, i-D, SELF SERVICE, V, VMAN, DAZED AND CONFUSED, ANOTHER, ANOTHERMAN, AMERICAN VOGUE, RUSSIAN VOGUE, ELLE, and NOWNESS.
