Sennett Girls, 1915 - (Nelson Evans / Sennett) The Kobal Collection
Exhibition
The Festival de Cannes welcomes the Kobal Collection to celebrate the glossy world of the pin-ups in a major exhibition. Gathered from archives provided from many varied sources, this fabulous collection of cinema-related photographs has been constantly enriched over the years and today totals more than a million precious images. Take the chance of a lifetime to see how great stars and sexy starlets alike love to strike an alluring pose. Carefree, seductive, captivating, they play to the lens dressed in leopard skins, designer lingerie or swimsuits against backdrops of satin sheets or sandy beaches. In black and white or technicolour, Ava, Rita, Brigitte, Cyd, Jane or Marilyn compete for the most smouldering glances and dangerous curves. This year, the pin-ups have their own show in Cannes, and they must be laughing to see their great beauty reflected in our mirror.
