‘’Fashion designers offer one of the last refuges of the marvelous.They are in a way, the masters of dreams”
~ Christian Dior
“For me photography is pure fiction, even if it comes from life”
~ Sarah Moon
I had the great pleasure of seeing this image for the first time last year In Paris at the sublime exhibition of Sarah’s work at the magnificent Galerie Dior at the Mecca for Fashion, the magnificent building 30. Ave Montaigne. It just knocked me off my feet. I still feel it is possibly one of the greatest fashion photographs ever made. Once seen, never forgotten especially in the exquisite platinum process beloved by many of the masters of photography. from Stieglitz to Penn. Brava Sarah!
Sarah Moon's work is included in our current exhibition, The Fashion Show, on view in our Santa Monica gallery until October 7th, 2023.
