André Ostier was born in 1906 in Paris. After studying political science, he ran a bookstore-gallery where he exhibited Le Corbusier and Max Jacob, among others.
He became, from the end of the 1930s, a reportage photographer and a portraitist dedicated to the artists of his time: the great figures of contemporary art and the literary world passed in front of his lens. He is also introduced to the fashion world, having known Christian Dior at a very young age.
The first French edition of Vogue magazine after the Liberation is largely due to him. He will be a fashion photographer until the end of the 1970s, working to the rhythm of the parades for the greatest couturiers from Dior to Chanel, from Balenciaga to Givenchy or Yves Saint-Laurent...
In love with Paris, he immortalized the city in the immediate post-war period, when it began to be subjected to a forced modernization.
He will also be a photographer for the 'Café Society', bringing together members of the aristocracy, artists and international celebrities.
He disappeared in 1994.
