Peter Lindbergh: A different Vision on Fashion Photography Exhibition runs from Sept. Their tributes explain just what makes Lindbergh’s images so unique and powerful. In a testimony to Lindbergh’s illustrious status in the fashion world, his images are contextualized by commentaries from collaborators such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Nicole Kidman, Grace Coddington, Cindy Crawford, and Anna Wintour, who chose Lindbergh to shoot her first US Vogue cover. Influenced by the language of film and by playing with the type of the strong, self-willed woman, he is a man who made Supermodels a thing, but more importantly, a man who gave women’s beauty further momentum.īehind the upcoming exhibition is Thierry-Maxime Loriot, the Montreal curator whose success with the Jean Paul Gaultier show. His timeless images redefine the norms of beauty. When the tension of younger generation and perfection taking over the publicity on social media today, the Kunsthal consider is important to introduced Lindbergh’s new realism into photography to the younger generation.
