About the Item
“We were shooting in Rome for a new Fendi fragrance. Fendi had arranged paperwork to permit us to shoot in a museum garden. However, when we arrived the guard denied our permit, claiming that the garden was an “interior” (as it was behind the entrance gate) and that we were only allowed to shoot in the parking lot.
We decided to meet at Alda Fendi’s home to make an alternate plan. When we arrived, we were greeted by Alda. In the vestibule of the entrance on a table sat the incredible ancient marble bust. Our model, Marie Sophie, walked over to it and gently kissed his cheek. We proceeded with, hair, make-up, and wardrobe, and that became our ‘Passion of Rome’ for Fendi.”

Sheila Metzner
Sheila Metzner (born 1939) is an American photographer. She was the first female photographer to collaborate with the Vogue magazine on an ongoing basis. Metzner lives in Brooklyn, New York. Metzner graduated from the High School of Art and Design and the Faculty of Visual Communications of the Pratt Institute. In the 1960s, she became the first woman to be promoted to art director by Doyle Dane Bernbach, an advertising agency. Thanks to this, she successfully collaborated with well-known photographers, including Richard Avedon, Melvin Sokolsky, Bob Richardson and Diane Arbus. Her first show in New York was called Friends & Family. She decided to show part of the images to the director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, John Sarkovsky. In 1978, he bought one and included in MoMA exhibition Mirrors and Windows: American Photography Since 1960. A second exhibition – Photography (Spring 1981): Couches, Diamonds and Pie – took place there. After that, The New York Times and The Sunday Times published a photograph of Sheila's husband. In 2008 the School of Visual Arts presented the exhibition Time Line: Shelia Metzner at the Visual Arts Museum, New York.

- Mats Gustafson (illustrator) and Linda Evangelista in Christian LacroixBy Patrick DemarchelierLocated in New York, NY“Linda has slanted, almond-shaped eyes, extremely beautiful nostrils that tilt another way, and a mouth that angled in a third direction – femininity combined with strength, womanliness mixed with girlishness. I think this why we all respond so much to Linda – we read into her face all those received charismatic images. With these images and all the preexisting pictures of Linda in the back of my mind, I found it easy to distill her features to a very simple form.” -Mats Gustafson...Category
