Hiro’s 1964 portrait of Tilly Tizzani wearing Yves Saint Laurent is a study in elegance and precision. Known for his distinct use of lighting, geometry, and minimalism, Hiro brought a sculptural quality to fashion photography that set his work apart during his long tenure at Harper’s Bazaar.

This image reflects a moment when fashion and photography were both undergoing transformation—Saint Laurent was redefining modern style, and Hiro was challenging the conventions of editorial imagery. Together, they produced a composition that feels timeless in its restraint and originality.
