The exhibition leads to the centres of the jet set: the Côte d’Azur, St. Moritz, Paris, London, Rome, and New York and shows former protagonists of the jet set, young playboys, creatives and visionaries such as Brigitte Bardot or Andy Warhol. Today also many of the photographers who had a hand in establishing their careers back then are well known: Richard Avedon, David Bailey, William Klein, Jeanloup Sieff, Francesco Scavullo, Robert Mapplethorpe or Lord Snowdon. And of course also the famous paparazzi Ron Galella or Edward Quinn.

All photographs are part of the Nicola Erni Collection and were collected by the Swiss collector Nicola Erni and curated by Ira Stehmann. This exhibition features 400 of the collection's most fascinating photos, which have never before been exhibited in public.
