February 8, January 13, December 13, December 9, Celebrity Beauty. October 30, October 26, July 9, More Stories. This allows the image to transcend any field.
They are images of human beings, rather than fashion moments, celebrity portraits, or a random beauty attempting to sell you something. The ability to transcend in this way, has brought opportunities to branch out from the art-directed confines of fashion.
It is worth remembering that the duo started out with artistic intent and have shown in commercial art galleries since the early s. Lines blur by adding emotional value to every piece. At times they are surreal, emotional, playful and confrontational. There are clean lines and dirty surfaces, as many scowls as there are smiles, while androgyny, humanity and the desire to freeze frame the moment presents itself in so many ways.
They always shoot together, Inez talking to the model, creating a dialogue, so the awareness of the person is focused on him or her. Vinoodh snoops around, shooting from different angles and with varying proportions, usually capturing the more intense moments. They are relaxed in the studio a virtual second home, with over shooting days per year because they know either one of them will get the picture—two visions creating a single image.
While the photograph without Vinoodh was exhibited in galleries, another version with him present and Inez covered in body paint was used as an advertising image for Lanvin Homme. As you can see, in their multi-faceted world anything is possible.
Perhaps the most endearing quality of the dynamic duo, beyond their imagination, their prolific output, or the sheer heart-stopping effect of their art, is their dedication to those around them. From agents to assistants, the production crew who make the world of Inez and Vinoodh spin around so prettily, and a revolving cast of models always welcome in the fold, the vibe appears solid and family-like.
Some of these individuals have been with them for over two decades, obviously enthralled by their pioneering spirit. And nothing appears to daunt them, whether signing with art-god Larry Gagosian for gallery representation; directing videos for Lady Gaga; or dreaming up campaigns for the likes of Chloe, Gucci, Miu Miu and Isabel Marant.
I like that flexibility. Journalists are prone to ask her if things are easier now, and the answer is always alarmingly frank.
