CAPE

Capes were common in medieval Europe, especially when combined with a hood in the chaperon, and have had periodic returns to fashion, for example, in nineteenth-century Europe. In the Victorian age, capes and wraps, sometimes embroidered or with paisley motifs for women, were alternated with black, fur-lined capes for men. From 1910, the cape began to come into its moment. Paul Poiret was definitely one of the first tailors responsible for the transformation of the cape, playing with its shape in various forms. Actually when I found this cape I immediately thought .. little red riding hood.

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER: HORST P.HORST

Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann born in Germany in 1906. He getting interest in architecture,and Le Corbusier invites him to come in Paris. After befriending the Vogue photographer, George Hoyningen-Huene, he switched from architecture to photography. Janet Flanner of the "New Yorker" discovers his works in a small exhibition in a bookstore in Paris, after this meeting Horst P. Horst will be assumed by Vogue.
 Horst is best known for his photographs of women and fashion, but is also recognized for his photographs of interior architecture, still lifes, and environmental portraits. His method of work typically entailed careful preparation for the shoot, with the lighting and studio props arranged in advance.
Horst set out to create a parallel aspirational universe in which his subjects became mysterious and alluring. The elegance of his photographs took you to another place, very beautifully, the untouchable quallity of the people is really interesting as it gives you something of a distance.
 In 1937 meets and photographs designer Coco Chanel, beginning a lifelong friendship, he would photograph her fashions for three decades.
His last photograph for British Vogue was in 1991, and he dies in Florida in 1999.

 Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann Ã¨ un fotografo tedesco nato nel 1906. Dopo essersi interessato di architettura e dopo un breve tirocinio da Le Courbusier a Parigi, Horst P. Horst si avvicina alla fotografia grazie all'amico George Hoyningen-Huene. Janet Flanner del "New Yorker" scopre le sue opere in una piccola mostra allestita in una libreria a Parigi e a ciò segue la sua assunzione a Vogue. Horst non ha rivoluzionato la fotografia di moda, ma l'ha senza dubbio perfezionata, in quel periodo era ancora da definire fino a che punto il capo di moda debba collocarsi al centro della composizione fotografica ed entro quali limiti il fotografo possa sovrapporsi a questi contenuti. Ciò che maggiormente influenza l'opera di Horst è il concetto di bellezza, si dedica ad uno studio approfondito delle pose classiche della scultura greca. Le sue immagini rappresentano una bellezza fredda e inavvicinabile, erotica e seducente, la distanza dalla realtà che caratterizza le sue opere fa di lui un artista del suo tempo, che ama la bellezza e la moda e le ritrae con passione, senza dimenticarne il carattere ingannevole.
Nel 1937 H. incontra Coco Chanel a N.Y. e la loro collaborazione durerà quasi un trentennio.
 Lavora fino agli anni 90, muore in Florida nel 1999.
