📸 Helmut Newton: The Master of Bold Elegance

Provocative, cinematic, and unforgettable—Helmut Newton redefined fashion photography. His signature black-and-white images blend glamour with power, transforming models into femme fatales.

Big Nudes, Saddle I, and his iconic Vogue editorials challenged beauty norms, mixing sensuality with strength. Dramatic lighting, bold poses, and a touch of fetishism made his work instantly recognizable.

From Yves Saint Laurent to Naomi Campbell, Newton captured the most influential figures with his daring lens.

His legacy? A world where fashion meets art, and elegance meets edge.

High Heels – A Symbol of Power and Status

→ Origin: While today high heels are primarily associated with women's fashion, their origins lie in men’s fashion.

In the 17th century, Persian cavalrymen wore heeled boots to secure their feet in stirrups while riding horses. This practical feature later spread to European aristocracy. By the time of Louis XIV of France, high heels had become a symbol of power. The king himself famously wore red heels as a way to demonstrate his superiority, with red being a color reserved for the French monarchy.

→ Today: Heels have evolved into a high-fashion accessory that continues to be emblematic of femininity and elegance. Iconic heels by designers such as Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik are sought after globally, often seen as a symbol of both luxury and status.
