The success of the Charles Jourdan project was a great challenge, because for two decades, Guy Bourdin had generated a large amount of stunning photographs for the brand that have become iconic images. To bring his own vision, Badessi played with eroticism and mythological symbolism, creating memorable visuals that are in the permanent collection of le Musée de la Publicité – Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris. That same year, one of the photographs “The Abduction of Ganymede 1” made the headlines for an article in the New York Times.
