Editorial for Vogue FR March2006

Model: Caroline Trentini

David Sims began working as a photographer in 1989 after a number of years assisting. His first editorial stories appeared in The Face and I-D and his defiantly casual ‘grunge’ style soon became recognized. It was at this time that he shot what was to become a very influential campaign in his career for Yohji Yamamoto. This lead to the signing of a one year exclusive contract with Harper’s Bazaar (USA) in 1993 and the commissioning of his first campaign for Calvin Klein.

In 1994 he was awarded ‘Young Fashion Photographer of the Year’ by the Festival de la Mode and opened a one man show at Zwemmers Gallery in London. A year later he was awarded ‘Photographer of the Year’ (Festival de la Mode) and he has since gone on to contribute to a number of exhibitions including the ‘Exhibition of Contemporary Photography’ at the V&A, Isolated Heros with Raf Simons at Emily Tsingou Gallery and ‘Roses’ at Visionaire which included producing a limited edition book of the show.
