Bruce Weber Short Film for YSL Menswear

'Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing' when Bruce Weber melds with Bunny Yeager on film

"If you don't want to be nude, wear a suit" is what Bruce Weber originally wanted to call his short film.

Sometimes I feel as if I need to explain my references. I am sure there are souls who are not familiar with Bruce Weber's brillaint work.

Presently, he is the the most commercially known for his Abercrombie & Fitch photographs. Back in the day, it was for his Calvin Klein Underwear ads.

If you were a male model in the 80's and had a portrait by Bruce Weber in your portfolio, you instantly skyrocketed to having a certain covetable cache that made you the envy of all the other boys on the set. A modern, uneffected sensuality remains in his photographs which is impossible to duplicate, although many photographers have tried.

A couple of decades earlier, Bunny Yeager was first a model and then known for her glamour photographs. Her most iconic model is Bettie Page. Both photographers share a certain naturalness in their work. Specifically their nudes.

The saucy babe with the bangs…

Bettie Page, the 1950’s pin-up icon who between girl next door shots, would throw in a cat of nine tails or two was probably known more for her legendary glamor style than her saucy S&M antics passed away at the age of 85.

Models Without Hair and Makeup

December 01, 2008

And, they all woke up that way, not!

One of my main reasons to launch Focus on Style as a syndicated column way back when was because as a stylist, I kept hearing myself reassure women that almost anyone can make the most of what they’ve got if they only know how to work it with the proper skills.
