Vintage photographs of a collaboration between Paco Rabanne and photographer Jean Clemmer go on show in the UK for the first time next week - exploring themes of sensuality, fantasy and haute couture.
The suggestive images of models wearing Rabanne's 'unwearable' fashions provide a glimpse of the radical ethos and sexual freedom of 1960s Paris.
50 years on, the collaboration between Clemmer and Rabanne will feature alongside a wide range of Clemmer's photographs at a pop-up gallery space in London.
Clemmer (1926- 2001) was a French painter, musician and photographer who mingled in Surrealist art-world circles and began taking photographs in 1962.
