Stella McCartney Fashion Show, Spring/Summer 2006 Collection in the Ballet Room of the Grand Hôtel de Paris, named Opéra Garnier in homage to the Opéra Garnier on the opposite side of the building.
About the artist:
Navigating between photography, architecture and classical painting, British artist Simon Procter begins by immortalizing the majestic catwalks of fashion houses such as Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Lagerfeld, Prada and Stella McCartney. Conquered by his daring shots and the beauty of his work, the great designers open the inaccessible doors of their worlds to him. Positioned at heights of over 100 meters, Simon Procter sublimates these events and the architecture of these monumental sites, which are shaded for a few hours in the colors of the greatest luxury brands. The Grand Palais, the Opéra Garnier, the Carrousel du Louvre, the Cirque d'Hiver, Time Square etc. become staging grounds where the creation and imagination of two artists converge.

SIMON PROCTER
Simon Procter was born in 1968 in Lancashire, Northern England. He studied fine art for many years, originally focusing on both painting and sculpture, and holds a B.A. Honors degree in Fine Art from Trent University, United Kingdom. Procter moved to Paris in the late ‘90s and, while doing a variety of odd jobs in the city, met one of the associates at Visionaire. Thereafter, Procter took up photography and used his unique fine art aesthetic to develop a photographic technique that captures and documents the grand scale of fashion shows and the architectural spaces in which they take place. This synthesis of fashion photography and classical painting distinguishes Procter’s work. His first fashion photography endeavor was shooting a Dior show from 100 feet above the runway. The resulting images were published in two major stories in “V Magazine” and exhibited at Colette, with a sponsorship by both Armani and Prada. He has since produced works for Adidas Y-3, L’Oréal Paris, Christian Dior, Armani, Chanel, and Stella McCartney among others. His photography has been featured in numerous publications including “Vogue Nippon,” “Harper’s Bazaar” and “The New York Times” and has been exhibited in Paris’ Grand Palais, the Moscow Museum of Art and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It was also the subject of a coffee-table book, “Lagerfeld: The Chanel Shows,” published by Rizzoli in 2019.
