peter lindbergh a different vision on fashion photography

Lindbergh, looking like a naughty schoolboy hidden in a bearded face, admits that he would deny ever having photographed a Valentino outfit - and then 'Thierry showed me and my mouth was open.

Not a mention! So Loriot had to undertake the hefty research of putting names to the clothes. Every last detail from the client to the location is listed methodically - except for the definition of the outfits themselves. Given carte blanche to go through Lindbergh's efficiently stored archives, the curator soon got to the heart of the matter. Although, in reality, in spite of close personal relationships, the photographer cares little about who designed the outfits and focuses rather on reaching the still centre of the character of the models who wear them.īehind the upcoming exhibition is Thierry-Maxime Loriot, the Montreal curator whose success with the Jean Paul Gaultier show is now legendary, since it has been shown in ten destinations, culminating in a record-busting 1.8 million-visitor show this year in the Grand Palais in Paris. The Kunsthal show in September 2016 will present fashion images via 25 designers, from Azzedine Alaïa and Giorgio Armani to Comme des Garçons and Valentino.

'If I came from Venice, I would be different. 'My view of beauty is probably a little bit tougher because of that,' says Peter, 70. (Foto: Peter Lindbergh Studio, Paris_Gagosian Gallery )
