Richard Avedon and Peter LindberghRichard Avedon, who would revolutionize fashion photography through his dynamic, active images, often incorporated elements of dance and theatrics into his photographs. In 1970, Avedon photographed model Jean Shrimpton in an evening dress by Pierre Cardin that billowed with her swift movements.  In the April 2009 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, photographer Peter Lindbergh shot Gisele Bündchen portrayed as several of the sartorial archetypes of the 20th century, recreating Avedon’s 1970s photograph with Gisele in a hooded Roberto Cavalli gown.
