Match Made in Fashion: Charles Jourdan & Guy Bourdin

You know it when you see it. A beautiful silhouette, perfect legs (sometimes sans head), fancy shoes, and a juxtaposition of bright colors and dark shadows. The photographs shot by Guy Bourdin are iconic and easy to spot, but let's not forget the other half that contributed in making those images famous. French designer Charles Jourdan, most notable for his shoes. The pair worked together for over a decade between the years of 1967- 1981, delivering a series of photos that were fashion forward, artistic, and provocative, unlike other fashion campaigns at that time.
