Further Details
Sie Kommen is the tour de force from the two series of Naked and Dressed fashion studies that Newton conceived and executed for Italian and French Vogue (published in October and November respectively). The series involved considerable challenges. The pairs shot for Italian Vogue were made in daylight that was changing constantly, yet which had to be closely matched. The studio groups for French Vogue involved the even more complex challenge of simultaneously choreographing and matching the poses of the four figures.
Sie Kommen is presented here in the exceptional life-size format printed on four panels.
