Helmut Newton - Le Smoking 1966Not a big follower of fashion photography but this one is beautiful. It was featured on BBC Four where Rankin, a UK fashion photographer, recreated seven photographs that changed fashion. He managed to get the original model to turn up and give a few pointers, tell the story and reminisce about the original 1966 Yves Saint-Laurent shoot. The street hadn't changed, the atmosphere was still there but although Rankin's image looked good it couldn't recreate or capture the life of the original.
Why do I like this photo? No idea but I can stare at it for much too long.
