Everyone loves this cheerful photograph. And why not?
Through street reflections and light play the multilayered dialogue between fashion and the environment is captured. We step into a dreamlike world of metropolitan life and re-imagine elements of a personal story.
A confident mannequin poses in an uplifting central scene. She takes a breath with closed eyes while her flanking majestic polar bears hail a welcome to all passersby on this bright December holiday Sunday on New York’s 5th Avenue near Central Park. The reflection of the zebra street crossing points the way to the Sabrett hot dog umbrellas across the avenue that reflect in the mannequin’s hem edge adding a colourful frill to this happy stage and unforgettable souvenir.
A moment of fleeting co-existences. The instance was captured in an unretouched single-shot in 2009 at Bergdorf Goodman 5th Avenue, New York.
