    Gérard Musy was born in 1959 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. In 1983, while still a student at the University of Geneva, he began to photograph New York nights. In the sophisticated black and white of the "Sexy Eighties", he photographed the collections of the greatest fashion designers as well as the creatures dressed in leather, latex and glitter that reigned over the nightlife of Paris, London or New York. At a time when photographers were crowding around the catwalks, Gérard Musy, with his Leica, was one of the first to take over the backstage. Women are the heroines of his photos: seductive, conniving, sultry or dominating.
