Inez van Lamsweerde in The Gentlewoman

Inez
van Lamsweerde

The world’s best fashion photographer

Issue n° 2, Autumn & Winter 2010

As a disco-dancing, punk-loving teenager in Amsterdam, Inez van Lamsweerde launched herself into a career in fashion with some zeal. Now 46 and the industry’s most powerful image-maker, she is responsible for defining what fashion looks like, season after season. Her vast back catalogue reflects not just one style but a total fashion photography universe, so seamlessly can she slip between the high-production commercial shoots, intimate portraits and informal street snaps that describe each style epoch.

Some images are far edgier on a glossy magazine page, under a pithy headline, than they are hanging on a white gallery wall. For instance, The Gentlewoman(2010) by collaborators Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, appeared first on the cover of Gentlewoman, a smart, small British women’s magazine. It’s a portrait of Van Lamsweerde herself as a style-conscious bearded lady. She wears a flowing white blouse with a thin black ribbon around her neck and silky black pants with a big bow around the waist. Originally, the image appeared with the words “story of the world’s best fashion photographer” below it. In that context, the image was gender-bending in a refined but still unexpected sort of way.

Penélope Cruz and Brad Pitt Star in CHANEL’s Nostalgic New Campaign

MARCH 27, 2024

This campaign isn’t just about revisiting the allure of a bygone era; it’s a vivid celebration of CHANEL’s indelible mark on fashion and film. The backdrop? The enchanting Deauville, a locale intertwined with CHANEL’s heritage, where Gabrielle Chanel herself opened her first boutique. This choice of location is no mere coincidence; it’s a nod to the brand’s roots and its intertwined history with cinema.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2022

Inez & Vinoodh direct fashion model Rianne Van Rompaey in the campaign for the CHANEL Fall-Winter 2022/23 Ready-to-Wear collection by Virginie Viard. “We set out to bring the countryside, the Scottish landscape around the River Tweed, into city life,” explains the photography duo, guided by the contrast between “Gabrielle Chanel’s trips to the River Tweed area finding inspiration for her tweeds in nature, and living her life in Paris dressing women with tremendous freedom of movement and ease.”

In the opening image, she’s in a black polo-neck and white shorts, both by MIU MIU, with white patent slingback shoes by JIMMY CHOO. Scarlett wears her own jewellery throughout.

Issue nº 23, Spring & Summer 2021

Back in the leather catsuit for the eighth time this summer, Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson’s sassy Marvel character, has her own film at last. Over 30 years in show business, the 36-year-old actor has soared steadily from indie darling to box office draw, and she now has the powers to cast a woman in the director’s chair. It’s Scarlett’s fanatical commitment to outlandish parts that keeps fans coming back for more. And with her own production company, she’s free to make work as rich and as challenging as she is herself.

Christy, who was born on 2 January 1969, demonstrates just one of her signature wide-kick poses in an outrageously fun raffia skirt, top, heels and accessories, all by BLUMARINE.

It only takes 15 to 20 days’ work a year for Christy Turlington to maintain her title as the world’s best-loved supermodel – one she’s held for nearly 30 years. With fashion’s ongoing appetite for older faces, the ravishing 43-year-old is still the industry’s paragon of beauty. But modelling is just a side project for Christy, also known as Christy Turlington Burns. She devotes her other 345 days to realising the United Nations’ commitment to improving maternal health through her charity, Every Mother Counts. Based in New York since her days in the notorious Ford Models townhouse, Christy loves Twitter and has been known to post 15 tweets in a day.
