Blame it on Andy

Warhol’s everlasting influence on fashion

The combination of stylist Ingo Nahrwold and photographer Jonas Huckstorf is not new in ACHTUNG. Channeling Richard Avedon’s photos of Andy Warhol’s factory in fashion photography also is not. But add in a great and very 2023-feeling casting featuring Smilla Herbst, this editorial combining classic suiting and coats is blending borders of gender conformity. The B&W editing, the group shots and the classic and androgynous tailoring are very reminiscent of “The Factory” vibe captured in Avedon’s iconic images. Let’s remember that during the 1960s and early 1970s, Warhol’s studio was a cultural hub and meeting place for the most influential artists and celebrities of the time. Salvador Dalí, Allen Ginsberg, Mick Jagger and Edie Sedgwick to name a few who decided over the course of arts and culture for decades to come. Even though “The Factory” does not exist anymore, influences of the ideas can be found everywhere until this day. Let this editorial be proof of that.
