"High on our list of fashion week diversions: Juergen Teller's new show at Lehmann Maupin Gallery. Teller\u2014who recently published a book of his collected Marc Jacobs ads (and chatted with our sister site about it here)\u2014presents a large-scale (70\" x 50\") series shot for the French art/fashion/smut mag Paradis. The Louvre gave the German lensman an all-access pass to the museum, which he put to typically good use\u2014i.e., stripped down some famous subjects (like model Raquel Zimmermann and can-she-really-be-63 Charlotte Rampling, pictured) and let them lounge. (The gallery has copies of the Paradis issue in which the photos originally appeared, and a skin-bound\u2014of course\u2014catalog is forthcoming from Steidl.) Leave it to Teller to undermine the whole fashion premise in a fashion-spread-turned-fashion-week-exhibition. The takeaway message: Clothes\u2014overrated?\n\n Paradis opens tonight and runs through October 17 at Lehmann Maupin Gallery, 540 West 26th St., NYC, (212) 255-2923, lehmannmaupin.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
