Paris, for Jardin des Modes, at 'Le Chien Qui Fume'
A masterful example of Frank Horvat's pioneering approach to fashion photography, this gelatin silver print captures an elegantly dressed model within the atmospheric setting of the legendary Parisian restaurant Le Chien Qui Fume. Horvat's signature style blurs the boundary between documentary street photography and high fashion, grounding the subject in the gritty, authentic energy of mid-century Paris rather than the artifice of a studio. Printed in 2014, this later print preserves the rich tonal depth and noir-like sensibility that defined Horvat's groundbreaking work for publications such as Jardin des Modes.
