About the Item

Shaun Casey twirling in a Gown for Italy´s Harper´s Bazaar, photographed by Arthur Elgort in 1978. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This Arthur Elgort photograph, titled Shaun Casey, Harper’s Bazaar Italy, 1978, is a striking black-and-white image that exudes movement, drama, and elegance. The composition is dynamic and fluid, capturing a model mid-spin, enveloped in a billowing black garment that swirls around her like a sculptural force. The pleated fabric and high contrast between light and shadow create a sense of energy and motion, drawing the viewer into the graceful movement. The model’s legs, clad in high-heeled sandals, serve as a grounding element, while the flowing fabric obscures most of her upper body, adding an air of mystery and abstraction. The interplay of sharp pleats and smooth curves of the fabric adds a textural contrast, reinforcing the sense of controlled spontaneity that defines Elgort’s fashion photography. Set outdoors, with a minimalist background of open space and distant foliage, the photograph focuses entirely on the subject’s motion and the artistry of fashion. The use of black and white enhances the graphic quality, emphasizing the silhouette and making the image feel timeless. This work reflects Elgort’s signature style—blurring the lines between fashion photography and candid movement, infusing his imagery with dance-like elegance and cinematic dynamism. The image captures not just the clothing but the spirit of fashion in motion, making it an iconic representation of 1970s haute couture editorial photography. Arthur Elgort is an acclaimed American fashion photographer, renowned for his signature "snapshot" style that brought a fresh, spontaneous energy to fashion imagery. Rising to prominence in the 1970s with Vogue, his work revolutionized fashion photography by incorporating movement and natural light. Elgort’s iconic images have been featured in prestigious museum exhibitions worldwide, including at the International Center of Photography in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, solidifying his status as a transformative figure in modern photography.
