The Breakthrough Moment
From Paris to New York: A Vision Unfolds
Antoine Verglas’ journey began not behind the lens but in front of it, as a television host in Paris. Yet his move to New York in 1990 shifted the trajectory of his career forever. With only a camera and a clear vision, Verglas captured candid, documentary-style portraits of rising supermodels for French Elle—images that would help define an era. His ability to strip away artifice and photograph icons like Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell at their most personal cemented his place in the fashion world.
A Signature Aesthetic
Capturing Intimacy in the Age of Glamour
Where others leaned into glamour and polish, Verglas carved a niche with authenticity. His portraits reveal vulnerability and ease, even when the subject is a household name. This unguarded quality—models at home, at rest, unposed—resonated with audiences craving honesty amid the spectacle of fashion. It is this trust between photographer and subject that continues to distinguish his work, making his photographs more than editorial spreads—they are lasting portraits of personality.
Legacy in Print
Fashion’s Most Iconic Faces, Reimagined
Over the decades, Verglas’ photographs have graced the pages of Vogue, Esquire, Maxim, Sports Illustrated, and beyond. His body of work stands as both archive and cultural commentary, chronicling the rise of the supermodel while rethinking how beauty and fame are seen. Each image offers more than a glimpse of style—it preserves a moment of humanity within the glossy world of fashion. His lens reminds us that even in the spotlight, intimacy endures.
