To coincide with Image Maker, the UK’s largest ever exhibition of the world renowned fashion photographer, Guy Bourdin, at Somerset House, the Michael Hoppen Gallery will be unveiling a rare selection from Walking Legs, Bourdin’s iconic 1979 campaign for Charles Jourdan. With the model mysteriously absent, save for a pair of mannequin legs, adorned with some exquisite Charles Jourdan creations, and shot against quintessentially English landscapes, taken while on a road trip from London to Brighton in a Cadillac, the campaign is one of his most surreal.
Guy Bourdin: Walking Legs will be showing at the Michael Hoppen Gallery from 6th Feb to 28th March
