Gian Paolo Barbieri (b.1938)
Fashion by Valentino
Unpublished fashion study for Italian Vogue, 1977
Since its launch in 1964, Italian Vogue has published strikingly provocative fashion photographs. In this image, fashion and religion collide. Models dressed like religious figures inhabit an interior containing sacred objects including a Jewish seven-branched menorah. Barbieri often evokes historic artworks, in this case Renaissance painting.
Gelatin silver print
