A bold and provocative statement on luxury, control, and sensuality , "Saddle I, Paris 1976" is an iconic work from Helmut Newton’s Private Property Collection , shot for Hermès, Paris . This image is a perfect synthesis of high fashion, equestrian elegance, and Newton’s signature exploration of power and fetishism .
Inspired by a window display at the Faubourg Saint-Honoré Hermès boutique , Newton seamlessly incorporated the juxtaposition of finely crafted saddles, harnesses, and bridles alongside couture fashion into this witty, subversive, and strikingly composed image .
Set within the intimacy of a domestic space , "Saddle I" allows viewers a glimpse into the forbidden world of fantasy and eroticism , as famously explored through the pages of Vogue Hommes . Newton’s mastery of light and composition elevates this piece into one of his most distinctive and daring works .
