Franco Rubartelli and Nagi SakaiA precursor to the selfie, Franco Rubartelli’s self portrait of himself then girlfriend Veruschka was an outtake from a series that ran in the January 15, 1968, Vogue. In the photo, the photographer/model couple sits in the grass, gazing at their reflections in the mirror as Rubartelli snaps a photo. For Vogue Latin America‘s June 2013 issue, photographer Nagi Sakai celebrated the German model’s career by restaging several of her most well-known images with model Mirte Maas.
