Through the Lens
The history of Haute Couture is intrinsically linked with the history of photography, and it is the work of Irving Penn that provided the inspiration for the AZZI & OSTA Autumn Winter 2019 Haute Couture collection. Renown for eternalizing his subjects, for captivating impactful images where the silhouette is captured as a form of art, Penn’s studio presented the backdrop for his creative mastery. It was the home of the artist’s true spirit and, it is this very dimension that inspired the creative directors to set the stage for Through the Lens. The photographer’s studio is where the storytelling began, with guests transported back in time for a moment, as observers of a 1950s photographer’s studio.
