Together, Azzedine Alaïa and Arthur Elgort shaped the 1980s. While the fashion designer was seeing his ideal woman finally embodied in the streets and by the ever-increasing number of clients, the photographer was leaving the studios, opening the windows: making the city and its movement the new setting of his photoshoots. Both actively contributed to the renewal of the representation of a woman becoming more and more assertive, determined, and independent.
Timeless photographs which have become essential to the fashion iconography of the couturier as well as more secret ones, constitute a unique exhibition in Paris. It is a dedication to photography and fashion, whose revival Alaïa and Elgort orchestrated. The exhibition creates a dialogue between thirty photographs by Arthur Elgort and original models by Azzedine Alaïa.
