Michel Comte
Carla Bruni, Safe Sex Campaign - the nude supermodel in a black skirt

1993

About the Item

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 nude portrait of Carla Bruni in soft black and grey is part of the series. Playboy Magazine partnered with Michel Comte in 1993 to release a safer sex campaign featuring Helena Christensen and Carla Bruni. The simple yet memorable images have become a modern-day classic and a staple in our visual memory. It depicts the model wearing only a fluffy black skirt. She has her hands clasped behind her back, pushing her bare chest toward the camera. Her head is dipped forward, so her hair covers her face. The image is striking and memorable in its' simplicity. The saturated colors of the broiling desert against the piercing blue of the clear sky or the cool palette of an intimate black-and-white portrait, Michel Comte can do it all. The Swiss star photographer has made his mark on fashion and celebrity photography since his first international advertising campaign for Karl Lagerfeld in 1979. Comte’s oeuvre truly is the work of a homme modern – capturing the most celebrated figures of the century, from boxers to supermodels, such as Carla Bruni or Helena Christensen. His portraits, nudes, or fashion campaigns always come exceptionally close to his subjects and create an intimate setting for the viewer.
