”Paris 1967 – hos Paco Rabanne”
"På bilden syns Gunila Axén och Marie-Louise De Geer (senare Ekman). Efter att ha fotograferat plagg hos de flesta stora modehusen var det en lättnad att komma till Rabanne, den störste konstnären i branschen enligt min åsikt. Han gjorde samma år kostymerna till science fiction filmen ”Barbarella” (1968) av Roger Vadim, med dennes hustru Jane Fonda i huvudrollen. Rabannes vurm för rymden och framtiden är tydlig. Ett par årtionden senare lämnade han Paris. Han trodde att den ryska rymdstationen Mir skulle störta ner över staden."

More about Carl Johan De Geer
Carl Johan De Geer was a Swedish painter, designer, photographer, and author. He studied from 1959-62 at Konstfack. He is one of the leading representatives of the boundary-crossing artists of the 1960s. Utilising the magazine “Puss” as his platform, De Geer and others satirically critiqued society and its representatives in a provocative style. In their exhibitions, which often take the form of entire scenographies, he works with all art forms. He has designed textile patterns, created paintings featuring kitsch and memories, made films, and written novels that blend modernism with pop culture.
