FLASHBACK

 

NOVEMBER 69: Year of everything erotic. Sylvie Vartan poses in a leather jumpsuit, photographed by Jeanloup Sieff. The image, ambivalent, expresses both innocence and passion in the artist of Qu‘est-ce qui fait pleurer les blondes. Above the shoulders, childlike styling, the star's look is what you would expect from a girl: Barbie earings for a traditional femininity, and the sulking face tops it off. From the neck down, however, it's a different story: Full leather, 'Straddling a horse' pose, biker rings worn like american knuckle-dusters. Not to mention her dominating glare down from above. The hot-blood is, like in her chart-topper - Comme un garçon -, taking on the role of the 'Idol of the Youth' [Johnny Hallyday, her husband], professional leather rebel. In this male-targeted "Fleurs du mâle" project, fetishistic wear is making a comeback, but now with a much more poisonous, 'bad girl', 'risqué' image.

Jeanloup Sieff

 

Jeanloup Sieff was a French photographer born in 1933 and died in 2000. Specialist in black and white, he covered over the course of his 40 year long career the most varied fields of photography: landscapes, reports, fashion (Jardins des Modes, Harper's Bazaar, American Vogue, British Vogue...), nudes, portraits of political and show-business personalities...

 

From Jean-Paul Sartre to Coluche, passing via Jane Birkin and Simone Veil, the list of these stars is impressive. We remember of course the nude photo of Yves Saint Laurent seen as shocking at its publication in 1970...

 

He photographed Sylvie Vartan in 1965  

and again in 1969, each time for Vogue magazine.
