Framing
Abbas: Haute Couture Collections. We recommend book-mounting this print in a wide passe-partout and then framing it in a black wooden box. This classic method not only gives visual priority to the image but also fits seamlessly into most interiors. However, if you prefer a different look, other framing options are also available. Additionally, to ensure the highest levels of production, all of our frames are handcrafted to museum standards by one of the UK’s leading workshops. Please note that prices include tax, but exclude framing and shipping costs.
Shipping
We aim to ship unframed works within 2 weeks and framed works within 6 weeks. All orders are shipped from the UK and we always strive to deliver your print as quickly as possible. However, the delivery times may vary, depending on the specific artwork and your location. For exact details, please get in touch. Please note that prices include tax, but exclude framing and shipping costs.
Artwork In Detail
This photograph was taken at the Chanel Haute Couture show in Paris in 1986. Abbas captures a model’s stride while setting the scene against iconic Parisian landmarks, such as Sacré-Coeur and the Panthéon. Amalgamating timeless fashion with enduring architecture, he transforms the runway into a dialogue between style and history. Although his fashion images remain among his lesser-known work, they highlight his sharp eye for drama and cultural resonance. Presented in collaboration with Magnum Photos.
