Specialist note

Bruce Weber’s fashion images became widely known in the 1980s when he was both the primary photographer for Ralph Lauren and also shooting for iconic Calvin Klein advertising campaigns. His work became recognized for showing male bodies as idealized and sensual, in a manner more commonly reserved for the female form.
