Ellen von Unwerth Sunglasses

Ellen von Unwerth (born 17 January 1954) is a German photographer, director, and former fashion model celebrated for her playful, sensual, and empowering imagery. After a successful modelling career in the 1980s, she rose to international prominence behind the camera with her breakout campaign for Guess starring Claudia Schiffer. Von Unwerth’s work—published in Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Interview—has become synonymous with the celebration of female confidence and allure. Known for her signature mix of glamour, humour, and eroticism, she has captured icons from Rihanna to Madonna, redefining fashion photography with her unmistakable blend of energy, femininity, and joy.

Her personal style mirrors her art: bold, eccentric, and effortlessly chic. Often dressed in tailored black suits, crisp white shirts, and a cascade of blonde curls, von Unwerth exudes an irreverent Parisian glamour that feels both timeless and rebellious. Her eyewear is a signature accessory—she’s rarely seen without her statement glasses. Favouring designs from Dsquared2 and Burberry, she opts for bold round frames and distinctive black acetates that perfectly frame her expressive energy. Whether behind the lens or centre stage at a gallery opening, Ellen von Unwerth’s eyewear is as iconic as her photographs—artistic, confident, and utterly unforgettable.
