About the Item
Limited edition of 18 + 2 artist proof
About the Art:
It was freezing inside the Grand Palais Chanel had provided all the guests with a beautiful monogrammed blanket and a small monogrammed vacuum flask filled with jasmin tea. I was impressed. The show was great. The models, one by one, did a tour of the arena then disappeared inside the giant sixty-foot white tower: Karl came out with the bride and everyone clapped. But then the tower began to move. There was a collective gasp as the outside of the tower slid up to reveal all the models, posed perfectly on a giant spiral staircase. It was the first time I had seen the usually sangfroid fashion crowd surprised.

SIMON PROCTER
Simon Procter was born in 1968 in Lancashire, Northern England. He studied fine art for many years, originally focusing on both painting and sculpture, and holds a B.A. Honors degree in Fine Art from Trent University, United Kingdom. Procter moved to Paris in the late ‘90s and, while doing a variety of odd jobs in the city, met one of the associates at Visionaire. Thereafter, Procter took up photography and used his unique fine art aesthetic to develop a photographic technique that captures and documents the grand scale of fashion shows and the architectural spaces in which they take place. This synthesis of fashion photography and classical painting distinguishes Procter’s work. His first fashion photography endeavor was shooting a Dior show from 100 feet above the runway. The resulting images were published in two major stories in “V Magazine” and exhibited at Colette, with a sponsorship by both Armani and Prada. He has since produced works for Adidas Y-3, L’Oréal Paris, Christian Dior, Armani, Chanel, and Stella McCartney among others. His photography has been featured in numerous publications including “Vogue Nippon,” “Harper’s Bazaar” and “The New York Times” and has been exhibited in Paris’ Grand Palais, the Moscow Museum of Art and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It was also the subject of a coffee-table book, “Lagerfeld: The Chanel Shows,” published by Rizzoli in 2019.
