Legendary German photographer and filmmaker. Peter Lindbergh recreates a moment in history with fashions current female faces in this exclusive video to nowness.com
Fashion’s romantic reimagines gangland’s most notorious theft
Peter Lindbergh has a history of subverting fashion's rigid conventions. For his first Vogue US cover, in 1988 – also the first under the editorship of Anna Wintour – he captured an off-guard moment with model Michaela Bercu dressed in stonewashed Guess jeans and a bejewelled Christian Lacroix couture jacket. This bringing together of the highest echelons of the fashion industry with street wear helped set the course of high-low style for years to come.
Known for his cinematic lens, German-born Lindbergh is a storyteller in nature, and once claimed that “fashion photographers are the new painters.” His most recent foray into film sees a reinterpretation of the notorious 1978 Lufthansa heist, the $5 million theft at New York’s JFK Airport and the largest cash robbery in America's history. Immortalized in Martin Scorsese’s 1990 classic Goodfellas, his version casts models Steffy Argelich, Kirsten Owen, Sasha Pivovarova and Guinevere van Seenus as the gangster who done it.
