Photographer Terry Richardson pays homage to the iconic Andy Warhol and his famous "15 minutes of fame" expression with a new photography project published in the February issue of Interview magazine.
‘Can You Digit?’ shows that nowadays, those seeking their 15 minutes of fame have abandoned mirrors and gone digital. Now they check their digital screens before they step out of the house into the arms of the paparazzi.
Models Karmen Pedaru, Naty Chabanenko and Constance Jablonski were styled by Karl Templer in the style of ’70s superstar Jane Forth with a slick Scalp hairdo, big eyes, no brows and show-stopping bright red lips.
The late Andy Warhol founded Interview magazine with John Wilcock.
