Sotheby’s takes advantage of the Haute Couture fashion shows to take thirty pictures of the mythical fashion photographer Cecil Beaton (Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton of his real name) out of his archives. Among these precious prints, rare moments of intimacy with the great creators of his time, such as Coco Chanel in his apartment in rue Cambon, Yves Saint-Laurent, Elsa Schiaparelli or Pablo PIcasso sitting on his bathtub.
Alexis Mabille’s exhibition is on display until July 31 at Sotheby’s, Monday to Friday.
