Spurred on by the Vintage Photos of Helmut Newton

Posted: 02 Oct 2009 03:41 PM PDT

Born in Berlin to a German-Jewish manufacturer of buttons and an American mother, Helmut Newton (1929-2004) snapped his first pictures of interest at the age of twelve.

After fleeing Nazi Germany, Helmut set up a fashion photography studio in Melbourne, Australia and later in Paris, soon emerging as an internationally renowned photographer.

For Spring 2010, Helmut Newton's vintage photographs revisit us as they have spurred on English designer Simon Spurr to bring us a traditional silhouette with avant-garde cuts and enlivened colors reminiscent of the 1970's ultra modernity.

The collection is a snapshot of confidence and relaxed sophistication for the modern man.
