Neue Luxury is a global dialogue on luxury in the 21st century.
With Guido on board, Sims’ work took on the mantle of greatness. “David is someone very close to me,” states Palau. “He taught me to be myself and express myself so that I was doing my hair and not copying anyone else, and to draw from the world around me and what I knew. He was very influential in that way because he guided my eye. In the same way, what I think has elevated his work above others is his ability to draw something out of the sitter—whether that’s a model, a kid off the street, or a jaded celebrity who has been photographed a thousand times before. It’s something I find endlessly fascinating. I’m not sure to this day how he actually does that.”
“If somebody’s got personality and talent I don’t have to do anything apart from record what is going on in front of me,” says Sims modestly.

DAVID SIMS’S PHOTOGRAPHS are bursting at the seams. Their taut edges are tethered to skin and light, precisely yet barely containing the image, as if cloth or flesh or stone might surge forth at any moment. Whether rendered against an acid monochrome background or a nacreous cyberpunk shine, this tactile, bas-relief effect also seems to embody that impossibly thin membrane between what is in and what is out, the ordinary and the underground, the exquisite and the abject, the material and the virtual. Perhaps no one has navigated these fields as brilliantly as Sims, who is a cult figure but also a mass one: Having gained global fame for the 1993 Calvin Klein ads that made Kate Moss a star and grunge a thing, Sims quietly went on to create an astonishingly diverse body of work at both the apex of cool—typological, Becher-like portraits for Raf Simons, hazy mash-ups for Supreme—and the pinnacle of luxury marketing. The photographer has transformed the
