About the photographs:
These 2 photographs of French model Misha Manist, were taken on one of the side streets in the centre of the charming Pink City aka Toulouse, France. They were both created on Oct 30, 2013, as part of Hopper’s 'Cityscape Portraits' project. Now, for the first time after nearly 10 years to the day, we're excited to offer them as part of this very unique and limited collaboration.
