A scenographic interpretation of Jean-Paul Gaultier‘s fashion by Marco Lanza for Harper’s Bazaar Uomo with one of the most popular top models of those years: Cameron (he was in the Madonna’s video “Express Yourself”). Art Direction Alessandro Calascibetta. This picture will be in the catalogue of the Gaultier exhibition starting on April 1st 2015 at Grand Palais, Paris.
The first steps of Dolce&Gabbana in menswear. That style of neorealist movies that led them to success: tank top, pure white shirt and baggy trousers; the model is Antonis, one of the top of that moment. Ph. Diego D’Alessandro.
That issue’s subject: “Stand out from the crowd”. And it sounds so appropriate today: then it was a “dedication” to fashionable transgressors. Today this happens with a different feeling: standing out from the crowd, today, means breaking the conformism with the need to express one’s own personality. Ph. Maria Vittoria Backhaus. Jacket Comme des Garçons.
“Uomo” was a theme quarterly magazine: the subject of the april 2003 issue was Water. And in this picture by Rodolfo Martinez the model posed as a “castaway”, wearing Emporio Armani clothes.
