Nun, Boy, red cape

Shelly Smith

Vogue Italia, 1971

Inside Gem:

Chris von Wangenheim’s turbulent childhood would haunt the imagery in his work for decades to come. This editorial shoot for Vogue Italia depicts a model in a dramatic cape suite as she drops off a woeful young boy at Catholic school, portraying the pain of abandonment and heartbreak that von Wangenheim experienced when he was placed into a very strict boarding school run by Jesuits.
