Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present a major exhibition of photographs by Inez & Vinoodh, following their first exhibition with the gallery in Paris earlier this year. Partners in life and work for twenty-five years, Inez & Vinoodh were among the first photographers to harness the full potential of digital manipulation in portraying the human condition. Combining the beautiful with the bizarre, the elegant with the extreme, the classical with camp, they depict human identity as exquisite corpse, the spirit of transformation that has fueled the march of art history and which has become, more than ever, a sustaining aesthetic principle of our own time.

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.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus / Seriously funny woman

Julia was photographed in Manhattan, a mere 4.6 miles from the apartment in which she grew up. Look at her now, wearing a vintage Christian Dior coat from Anouschka Paris over a yellow silk top and matching skirt by VERSACE, with brown satin shoes by PRADA and sunglasses by DOLCE & GABBANA. Tights by WOLFORD.

Issue nº 29, Spring and Summer 2024

Comic genius Julia Louis-Dreyfus stood up to the boys and won all the awards. Who’s laughing now?

One day in the Bahamas, Julia Louis-Dreyfus was swimming in open water when her husband, who was back on the boat, shouted something along the lines of “Don’t panic, but there’s a shark in the water. You need to come back.” It was the late 1980s, and they’d tagged along on a scientific expedition to study the local dolphins. The calm azure waters had been a dreamy setting for such an activity, but not any more. A shark can swim at up to 25 miles per hour, a human being no more than six. Julia turned to face the boat and began to kick.

Issue nº 19, Spring & Summer 2019

For almost 50 years, Cindy Sherman has been plundering her dressing-up box to turn herself into ingénues and society matrons, pin-ups and clowns – grotesquely familiar versions of the masks we all wear to face the world. She does this alone in her Hudson Square studio, surrounded only by the props – fake boobs, wigs, bits of mannequins – that help her create iconic images that contain not an ounce of Cindy Sherman. 

Scarlett Johansson / Simmons her Superpowers

Scarlett Johansson was photographed at the home of Inez & Vinoodh on Long Island wearing a fur-free recycled acrylic coat by STELLA McCARTNEY. 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 Turlington / The campaigning supermodel that everybody loves

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.

Issue n° 5, Spring & Summer 2012

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.
