BCBGMAXAZRIA SS13 Show — Inspired By Helmut Newton’s Photographs

When I think of the late fashion photographer Helmut Newton, my mind wanders to this iconic black-and-white image of Linda Evangelista, her short dark hair curled in a style channeling a 1950s pinup; her eyes directed upward attentively, as if observing an object in flight; her eyes accentuated and made all the more feline with thick winged liner; one hand facing the camera and holding a cigarette in between the index and middle fingers; her bosom accentuated by a long-sleeved, V-neck shirt with bustier-like stitching and conical-style breast cups.
