Dear Shaded Viewers,
I can hardly wait to see Helmut Newton's exhibition at the Grand Palais, starting on the 24th of March. Admiring more than 200 photographs, visitors will get an insight into Helmut Newton's career and unique world. A key influence within fashion circles, Newton loved sex, power, money and women. He also had privileged relationships with designers, such as Karl Lagerfeld or Yves Saint Laurent. With the return of a tougher woman on the latest fall runways, the timing could not be better.
Best,
Philippe
