André Carrara, Regards

André Carrara is one of the last heavyweights in a fashion scene that has faded with the passing of its last icons, whether photographers or creators, including the likes of Peter Lindberg, Karl Lagerfeld, Guy Bourdin and Emanuel Ungaro. Since 1963, with his initial photo shoot - an ad campaign that garnered lots of attention for Lacoste - André Carrara has collaborated alongside fashion’s most notable art directors, starting with Antoine Kieffer at Vogue France, who commissioned his first foray into photojournalism, followed by Roman Cieslewitz at Elle. This collaboration was suspended for a three-year period spent traveling in the U.S., Upon returning to France at the beginning of the 1970’s, he reengaged with Elle and published in a large number of magazines as well as in British, German and Italian releases of Vogue, while at the same time becoming one of the leading photographers with the MAFIA advertising agency. Though André Carrara spent the 1990’s as a regular contributor to the American magazine Allure and other renowned publications, at the behest of Anna Wintour, his output during the years 1980- 2000 will be especially remembered for layouts in Marie-Claire and Marie-Claire bis.
