About the Item

Limited edition of 10 About the series: Carla Bruni - Interview Philippe Robert I've worked extensively with Carla Bruni since she was 17, on over 40 photo shoots. These photos, taken between 1990 and 1992, reflect the beginning of an era, the era of the Top Model, when models became stars. Before that, clothes were the stars of fashion shoots. We used models as "hangers" to put clothes on and show them off. But then a new generation of models arrived, beautiful but also hard-working, ambitious and eager to be recognized for their work. Some of them worked for hours in shoes that were too small and didn't say a word. Carla was one of these models. For this photo shoot, she sat half naked on the floor for over an hour, without complaining. She wanted to show that she was more than a model, but that she had a soul and something more to give, with her eyes, with her facial expressions, like an actress. This is how these girls (Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer...) became famous, and recognized. From this was born a new form of art photography, which magnified the models and not just the clothes. The aim of this shoot was to make timeless photos as opposed to pure fashion photos, where the clothes would become obsolete at some point and so would the images. These photos are more portraits of women than a fashion shoot. Carla Bruni worked very hard on this shoot. The barely-there clothes allowed her to feel free. These photos have been published all over the world, from China to Russia, for VOGUE, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair... This shoot was originally produced for Harper's Bazaar Italy.
