@divina_ispirazione Sculptural dress by Roberto Capucci, photo by Alberta Tiburzi, 1982. Alberta Tiburzi is known as a model and as a photographer. Born in Rome, Alberta began her modelling career in Italy in the second half of the 1960s. Having signed a contract, Alberta moved to New York where she modeled for photographers of the caliber of Irving Penn, Norman Parkinson and Richard Avedon. Her success brings her on the covers of magazines. However in my opinion, the most iconic shots of Alberta are the ones by Hiro, where she wears some fabulous Balenciaga's dresses passed to the History of Fashion. One of these images, the envelope dress that Alberta famously wore in 1967, has been recently adopted as the manifesto of the Balenciaga's exhibition held in London at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Was Hiro to encourage her to start her second professional life as a photographer. Alberta stepped from one side to the other of the camera. In this period she develops a personal research on light that leads her to conquer the title of " Signora della luce (Lady of light)", using mirrors to lighten some areas of the face (usually the eyes), projecting blades of light and create strong contrasts that enhance the subjects photographed by her. In the exteriors, Alberta allows architectures or horizons to dominate models and clothes, as in the 1980 editorial with Valentino's couture dresses, or the one from which I extrapolated the above shot, with the wonderful sculptural dresses by Capucci. Alberta extended her research beyond fashion, investigating in art, in show business, in nature. #albertatiburzi #robertocapucci #model #photographer #1982 #historyoffashion #runwaymagazinenews @runwaymagazines #eleonoradegray #runwaymagazineceo #runwaymagazine
