HISTORY OF MEN’S FASHION AND FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY – HARPER’S BAZAAR UOMO 1995
Harper’s Bazaar Uomo (direzione Giuseppe Della Schiava), numero di Luglio 1995, il primo della stagione A/I. Allora ero già fashion director da 4 anni e tenevo d’occhio da un po’ un giovanissimo ragazzo: Nicolas Moore. Aveva fatto – per gioco – qualche scatto con una Polaroid: gli dissi “perché non proviamo a fare un servizio di moda?”. A quell’epoca, parliamo già di vent’anni fa, c’era da una parte l’esplosione del colore: il classico-moda di Tom Ford appena ingaggiato da Gucci per risollevare il brand. E infatti la cover (di Danilo Frontini con il top Marcus Schenkenberg) era di Gucci. E c’erano ancora tanto nero e tanto bianco. E i primi jacquard. Nicolas Moore realizzò questo shooting a Los Angeles: i protagonisti? Giovani attori emergenti (e la top Tatiana Patitz che aveva appena recitato in “Sol Levante” al fianco di Sean Connery). Troverete anche – giovanissimi – Jared Leto e Josh Charles.
Harper’s Bazaar Uomo (editor in chief Giuseppe Della Schiava), issue of July 1995, the first of the f/w season. I was Fashion Director since 4 years before and I was keeping an eye on a very young guy: Nicolas Moore. He took – for fun – some pics with a Polaroid: I told him “Why don’t we try to shoot a fashion editorial?”. At that time, twenty years ago, there was on one side the colour explosion: the fashion-classic by Tom Ford just hired by Gucci to raise the brand again. And the cover indeed (by Danilo Frontini with the top marcus Schenkenberg) was Gucci’s. And there still was a lot af black and white. And the first jacquard. Nicolas Moore shot these pictures in Los Angeles: the protagonists? Young rising actors (and the top model tatiana Patitz that had just acted in “Rising Sun” with Sean Connery). You’ll find also – very young – Jared Leto and Josh Charles.
