There's some kind of legend that goes with photo shoot. I have no idea if it's true or not. Evidently, she was shooting for Glamour Magazine for Women of the Year (the one where they fuck'd up - see below) with that sequined tight dress and then when she was done, she put on her clothes (leather vest, hat, etc) and while she was leaving Patrick Demarchelier said, "Whoa, lets shoot you in that." Oh, uh huh, right.
it's true indeed. it was revealed by Demarchelier himself during a TV interview.

I've got that fist pic on my wall. Amazing. Quite a contrast, from high glamour to sex sleaze, although she looks more like a man in the 2nd shot.
ReplyDeleteand i have the interview on vhs to prove it.
ReplyDeletei like that behind the scenes story. that's the real genius of a photographer. thanks Patrick Demarchelier!
ReplyDeleteShe wore that leather waistcoat at Herb Ritt's Birthday party in August 1990 as shown in 'The Golden Hour' book photos of M.
