Franco Rubartelli and Peter LindberghOn the eve of the 1970s, Yves Saint Laurent’s transgressive designs would propel the fashionable woman into the new decade, dressing her in bifurcated garments with an unabashed sexuality on display. In 1968, Franco Rubartelli photographed model and reported girlfriend Veruschka wearing a YSL front-laced Safari tunic that had been specially commissioned by Vogue Paris for their 1968 July/August issue. 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 Veruschka’s well-known portrait to embody the fashionable ideal of the late 60s.
