Throughout his impressive career, the award-winning fashion and celebrity photographer Markus Klinko has captured some of the most iconic images. Who can forget Beyoncé’s famed cover for her first solo album Dangerously In Love, Lady Gaga covered in Hello Kittys for Sanrio’s 35th anniversary, or David Bowie with a wolf in GQ magazine?
These are just three of 13 Klinko images up for auction on Paddle8 to benefit the CFDA Fashion Trust, a new initiative of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. They are part of his “2000s: The Exhibition,” in collaboration with FUJIFILM North America Corporation at the Mouche Gallery in Beverly Hills.
“For me, this collection goes beyond celebrity photography and more so defines a greater cultural connection,” the photographer said. “The early 2000s was a very influential time of fashion, music, and entertainment that we are seeing resurface today. Being able to capture it photographically gives us a window into our past and it how it has helped form our future.”
