Kubalandeli befashoni abafike kwiminyaka yobudala esekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe kunye namashumi asibhozo, kukho iintengiso ezithile ze-iconic kunye neempawu ezidumileyo ezitshiswe ngonaphakade engqondweni-kwaye amathuba ayeyintsebenziswano phakathi komfoto uBruce Weber kunye nesitayile uPaul Cavaco. Basebenze kunye ngaphezu kwamashumi amabini eminyaka, kodwa ekugqibeleni ubomi bosapho kunye namathuba amatsha emisebenzi abangela ukuba baqalise ukwenza iiprojekthi ezahlukeneyo. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku: emva kweminyaka elishumi elinesithandathu ngokwahlukeneyo, i-VMAN ichulumancile ukudibanisa i-duo yamandla ye-mega enamaphepha angama-28 yefashoni kumcimbi wethu wokuwa. Siye sahlonitshwa xa bevuma ukwabelana ngeenkcukacha malunga nembali yabo ende kunye nobuhlobo obuhlala buhleli, kunye namabali ambalwa asendle ngasemva kwamabali adlulileyo.
Umfaki-zithombe kunye ne-stylist badibana okokuqala kwi-shoot ngo-1976, ngexesha leentsuku zokuqala zeCavaco njengomzekelo. "Ndiyi-antithesis yemodeli kaBruce Weber," ucacisa ngokuthozama. "Ngokufutshane, ayakhiwanga konke konke ... ibiyimpumela yabantu bokwenyani." Sekunjalo, uWeber wabona into kulo mfana xa wayemkhupha kuluhlu ukuze ancede ukunxibisa abanye abafana. "Andizange ndiyazi into endiyenzayo, ngoko ke andinayo imithetho," kusho uCavaco. Ukhomba uKezia Keeble, iqabane lakhe ngelo xesha, njengomcebisi wakhe wokuqala. (Umntu ongasekhoyo uKeeble yintsomi ngokwakhe: owayesakuba ngumhleli weVogue owathi kamva wafumana i-powerhouse publicity kunye nefemu yentengiso ye-KCD kunye neCavaco kunye noJohn Duka, umbhali wefashoni weNew York Times.) “Ndafundiswa nguKezia ukuba jonga okwenzekayo, ukubukela into eyayithandwa nguBruce, kwaye ujonge umfanekiso uphela,” utshilo. Yayingeyompahla kuphela, yayimalunga nomfanekiso.
Kungekudala emva kwaloo ntlanganiso inethamsanqa, uWeber wacela uCavaco ukuba ancedise kwintengiso kwaye baqala ukusebenza kunye ngokuthe ngcembe, betyhala zonke iintlobo zemida njengoko behamba. Thatha ibali lempahla yangaphantsi yasemva kwexesha le-Soho yeVeki yeVeki enomzekelo uJeff Aquilon, owathi u-Weber wahlutha kwiqela lepolo yamanzi kwiYunivesithi yasePepperdine. “UPawulos wayibhala yonke loo nto, ukusuka kwimingxunya yeekawusi ukuya kwisinxibo sakudala,” utshilo u-Weber. “Kuya kufuneka uqonde ngelo xesha ezi ntlobo zezinto azizange zenzeke. Amadoda akazange ngokwenene enze ezo ntlobo zemifanekiso. UPawulos wayesoloko ecinga phambili. Wayenemvakalelo yokuba sesitratweni, kwaye kwangaxeshanye wayeziva emhle.”
Kukho imbali yefashoni emininzi phakathi kwezi ngqondo zimbini zokuyila, ezinye zazo zidibene kunye ne-80 ukuya kwi-90. Amaxesha e-Iconic ngelensi yeWeber kunye nesitayile esihle seCavaco.
