Guy Bourdin and Tim Gutt

Guy Bourdin’s ad campaigns for Charles Jourdan would often feature a pair of disembodied legs clad in little but a pair of Charles Jourdan shoes. Bourdin’s titillating images have been a source of inspiration for countless photographers, particularly Terry Richardson. Photographer Tim Gutt seems to have also looked to Bourdin’s work in his editorial Star Signs in Vogue UK’s December, 2010 issue. In the editorial, Gutt photographed model Siri Tollerod in ensembles or settings representative of each of the twelve astrological signs. Gutt’s image for Pisces featured a pair of Georgina Goodman fish scale heels and resembled a 1967 Charles Jourdan ad by Bourdin.
