Andrea Modica’s new photo book Catholic Girl portrays the fashion and friendship of Catholic high school girls in 1980s Brooklyn.

 

Four decades on, the pictures have been assembled into a monograph, Catholic Girl, published by L’Artiere Edizioni. Mostly photographed outdoors and frequently in pairs (“at that age the best friend is usually hovering around”), both in Brooklyn and at two further schools in New Haven where Modica was attending Yale, there is an overriding toughness to the images, coupled with a particular vulnerability that speaks to the girls’ age.
