Modern lumbar protection
It’s worth noting that David Lachapelle is never at a loss to provide plenty of material for this column—unsolicited, of course.
Fashion photographer David Lachapelle is never at a loss for grateful subjects for this column - unsolicited, of course.Hand on heart, have you ever looked at a basketball for so long? I know Easter is just around the corner and egg hunts are back, but you can certainly hide them better than behind a basketball - at least on an ad for sneakers. But what Lachapelle can do is no witchcraft for Valentino either. Clothes off, legs wide, and dormant erotic memories of Sharon Stone in "Basic Instinct" are immediately awakened. Incidentally, in an "Inside the actors studio" interview with James Lipton, Stone answered the question of why she allowed this scene to be filmed by saying that she didn't even know what the scene would look like when she was shooting it. It was only when she saw herself on the screen that she realized how powerful the shoot had been. True enough. This realization must have dawned on the Valentino model too. The main thing is that it works and people look. (ck)
