The model, styled with oversized square sunglasses, wide-legged pants, gloves, and a coordinated scarf and headpiece, embodies the avant-garde aesthetic that defined the era. The minimalist ensemble with geometric lines and space-age flair is reminiscent of the designs by André Courrèges, the visionary French couturier who revolutionized fashion in the 1960s and '70s with bold silhouettes, innovative materials, and an optimistic view of the future. While attribution is not confirmed, the visual language clearly resonates with Courrèges’ hallmark style. The photo was taken by Turkish-born photojournalist Gökşin Sipahioğlu, a sharp-eyed documentarian of culture and society. Before founding the renowned Sipa Press agency in 1973, Sipahioğlu worked across Europe, capturing images that merged fashion, reportage, and modernism.
