Step into the world of high fashion and cinematic elegance with "Rue Aubriot, Paris 1975," one of Helmut Newton’s most celebrated images. Part of Newton’s Private Property Collection , this photograph captures actress Vibeke Knudsen standing alone on a dimly lit Parisian street, exuding the androgynous allure of Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking tuxedo.
Shot using only available street lighting , this piece draws inspiration from the nocturnal photography of Brassai , one of Newton’s greatest influences. The location—Rue Aubriot in Paris' Marais district —was Newton’s home for 14 years, adding a deeply personal dimension to this now-legendary image. Read more about Helmut Newton's Rue Aubriot here.
In a 1988 interview with New York Magazine , Newton recalled: "Vibeke was a girl I often worked with in those days. The idea was a man-woman standing in the street at night – the street, in fact, in Paris’ Marais district, where I lived for 14 years."
