ULTRAMEGALORE #3: PHOTOGRAPHY
To finish our coverage of Hannelore Knuts’ self-curated exhibition ULTRAMEGALORE, A BLOG offers a selection of the significant portfolio of fashion photography that accompanied the fashion pieces and artworks in the Hasselt Mode Museum in Belgium. Hannelore has had the privilege to pose for many of the world’s best photographers, for images that have ranged from personal projects and high fashion magazine editorials, to brand campaigns and charity work (notably for Designers Against Aids).
The collection of images tells the dynamic tale of a striking face and the personality behind it – as muse and inspiration for designers and photographers from the height of Parisian polish and Italian glamour to the grungiest of New York and Belgian avant-garde scenes. Hannelore’s face – with its sharp chin, hollowed cheekbones and seductive gaze – has won the approval and indeed offered the essential ‘it-factor’ for such a wide variety of aesthetic directions. From designers like Yohji Yamamoto through to Haider Ackermann and Jean Paul Gaultier, and photographers from Inez & Vinoodh to Juergen Teller, there seems no shortage of disparate entities who have chosen Hannelore to represent their vision.
Below is a selection of editorial images displayed from various titles in the exhibition ULTRAMEGALORE.
