HELMUT NEWTON
Rue Aubriot I 'YSL' (Hand Signed), 1975
It was undoubtedly photographer Helmut Newton who made Yves Saint Laurent’s ‘Le Smoking’ iconic; his extraordinary capacity to imbue his subjects with a potent sexuality reaching new heights when married to the louche enigma of the YSL tuxedo. Shot for French Vogue in 1975, the story featured an androgynous woman standing in a hazily lit Parisian alleyway, hair slicked back, crisp white cravat, cigarette, entwined with a model dressed only in black stilettos. With stark monochrome simplicity, Newton created a piece of iconography that to this day has never gone out of fashion.
