Guests will have the opportunity to ask questions to the artist's son, Benjamin Lindbergh. The musical entertainment for the evening will be provided by the acclaimed Trad Attack drummer, Tõnu Tubli. The guests will be captured on film by the talented young photographer Mari Makarov.

About the artist

Peter Lindbergh (1944–2019) was a German fashion photographer and filmmaker. He grew up in Germany but lived in Paris for decades and often worked in various fashion capitals. Although he also studied art, he decided to pursue photography in the late 1970s, which became his calling. His photographs have influenced several generations of photographers, designers, and other creatives.

Lindbergh's work in the 1990s marks the beginning of an era that still resonates today – it was a time of supermodels and a kind of timeless era when femininity and masculinity intertwined, often in white shirts.

Many say it was Lindbergh's photos that launched the careers of supermodels like Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Christy Turlington.
