"Comme Jackie O, Paris 1975" 20x24 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print by Helmut Newton Photography
Perhaps one of the most sensationalist and controversial works in Helmut Newton’s collection, "Comme Jackie O, Paris 1975" is a bold and satirical take on celebrity, power, and fashion. Featuring supermodel Linda Morand, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Jackie Kennedy, this image was part of a provocative Vogue editorial that cemented Newton’s reputation for fearless creativity.
Newton’s Comme Jackie O editorial was both a statement on media obsession and a playful critique of political iconography. As the story goes, Richard Avedon sent Newton a telegram after the shoot, congratulating him but also warning that the real Jackie Kennedy was allegedly preparing to sue for defamation of image. This only added to the infamy of the series, solidifying its place in fashion and photographic history.
