Helmut Newton in "Frames from the edge"

Frames from the Edge is a wonderful display of Helmut Newton's breath taking fashion, nude, commercial and portrait photography. Besides the thousands of outstanding still photographs that are shown, the documentary is conventionally narrated but grounded with substantial interviews of both Helmut himself and many other subjects, friends and critics capturing how and why and who the photographs are, when they are not rooted in his idiosyncratic methods of capturing a moment.
A camera crew follows Helmut Newton, the fashion and ad photographer whose images of tall, blond, big-breasted women are part of the iconography of twentieth-century erotic fantasy. He's on the go from L.A., to Paris, to Monte-Carlo, to Berlin, where he was a youth until he escaped from the Nazis in 1936. We see him on shoots, interviewing models, and discussing his work. It's not art and it's not good taste, he tells students. We meet June, his Australian-born wife, whom he married in 1948. Three actresses talk about working with Newton and how posing is different from acting. A heart attack in 1973 helps Newton re-focus, resulting in more personal photographic projects.

Kat Basics

Katerena Alkhimova, a model I have done many shows with in Europe and the USA, has started her new Fashion label 'Kat Basics'.
From her press release: ...She dares to reinvent the indispensable "little black dress,"
Kat's debut collection "Body" proposes two modern interpretations: the dress, and the bodysuit. These pieces were inspired by the sexy light/dark imagery of Helmut Newton's photography. Also, the collection exudes elements influenced by sensual "pin-up girl" imagery of the 1940's...
Figure hugging and seductive in the extreme.
This is Katerena.

A Woman after my own taste!
Elsa Peretti was born in Florence, Italy, the daughter of a well-to-do Roman family. She studied Interior Design in Rome. She moved to New York in the 1960s, where she began to model and then started designing jewelry for a handful of top designers, including Halston, Oscar de la Renta, Giorgio di Sant'Angelo and most notably, Tiffany.

Helmut Newton Foundation Berlin

I went to Berlin, Germany after Christmas to see what all the hype is about.
Berlin didn't disappoint, I cannot wait to hopefully go back there this Summer.
I really wanted to see the Helmut Newton Foundation.
Helmut Newton’s Private Property is a rare showcase of the photographer’s personal life, on display at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin. I was fascinated by a collection of the photographer’s cameras, accessories and other objects used in his photography.
I especially loved his Camera Bag and the Belt.
