Happy Birthday Louise Parker
February 21–April 5, 2024
10 Corso Como, Milan

Specially conceived for the reimagined spaces of the gallery at 10 Corso Como, Happy Birthday Louise Parker brings together a selection of iconic photographs from the past fifteen years by Roe Ethridge, including previously unreleased works. Curated by Alessandro Rabottini, the exhibition draws its title from the alluring presence of Louise Parker, a model with whom Ethridge collaborated on several fashion editorials starting in 2010. Over the years, the two became friends and Ethridge had the opportunity to portray Parker both inside and outside the framework of the fashion industry.
