In 1994, Cindy Sherman produced a series of photographs for the Japanese clothing company Comme des Garçons that break virtually every rule of fashion photography.

“I like making images that from a distance seem kind of seductive, colorful, luscious and engaging, and then you realize what you’re looking at is something totally opposite. It seems boring to me to pursue the typical idea of beauty, because that is the easiest and the most obvious way to see the world.” – Cindy Sherman
