Charles Jourdan advert photographed by Guy Bourdin.

Scanned by Miss Peelpants from Vogue, September 1974.

If you haven’t had the chance already, please make sure you get to see the Bourdin exhibition at Somerset House. It is a gorgeous, huge and perfectly curated insight into his talent. Apparently he submitted hundreds of photographs to Jourdan over the years and, whilst they are the bulk of the exhibition, it also barely scratches the surface of his output.
