Avedon

Richard Avedon’s ads for Blackglama in the ’70s and ’80s argued that a mink coat was the most fitting look for a legend.

Even major names like Avedon and Penn, who had previously shown on the East Coast, had never before had a Los Angeles exhibition before Hawkins hosted them.

“The budgets dropped, and Details closed. My era is Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon. … They started with Condé Nast and Hearst when they were very young, and they died still working in that system. My career has gone completely upside down with influencers, the internet, images online, and now everyone is a photographer.”

Richard Avedon, a top photographer for Vogue magazine, was hired to take the picture and Moffitt agreed to pose.

“My teenage dream was to have a swimming pool and to work with Avedon every day,” she later confessed.
