In 1988, Peter Lindbergh shot a series for Vogue involving candid photographs of young models on Santa Monica beach.
“A more outspoken and adventurous woman, emancipated from masculine control. For me, it’s really about storytelling."
Although the visual was already markedly different from the leading aesthetic at the time, the true change would come with the January 1990 cover of British Vogue, when Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Tatjana Patitz, and Christy Turlington posed together for the first time. This iconic photograph, which immortalised the birth of the supermodel – some of them wearing Dior in this room – went on to massively influence the history of fashion photography.
Peter Lindbergh had a habit of never attending fashion shows. The distance he kept from his subject – and the freedom that magazines afforded him – promoted a particularly powerful form of visual narration, sometimes established using storyboards. The contact prints and photographic prints on display, taken from the Peter Lindbergh Foundation archives, show the preparatory work that led to the ultimate decision, with the final shot acting as a reference for the editing teams.
