Peter Lindbergh. Azzedine Alaïa

Peter Lindbergh. Azzedine Alaïa: an eternal dialogue between photographer and fashion designer, united by monochromatic black—silver gelatin and timeless sculptural silhouettes. Lindbergh seeks authenticity in souls; Alaïa, bodily architecture. From Germany (Stern) to Paris (1978), they reject artifice; shared references: the beaches of Le Touquet, neoclassical Paris, black-and-white cinema, functional design. Alaïa’s garments elevate supermodels—Naomi Campbell, Milla Jovovich, Madonna, Tatjana Patitz, Kristen McMenamy, and more—in Lindbergh’s powerful portraits. An authentic black-and-white catalog precedes the exhibition at the Fondation Azzedine Alaïa (Paris).
