Women in Paris at the Café Aux Deux Amis, circa 1970
Photographer: Gökşin Sipahioğlu
Black
White Print
This striking black-and-white image captures a moment of bold Parisian flair at the iconic Café Aux Deux Amis in the early 1970s. Two fashion-forward women lounge at a sidewalk café — one defiantly smoking a cigar while confidently straddling a rattan chair, her posture mirroring the rising independence and boldness of women of the era. The other sits elegantly, absorbed in a newspaper, legs crossed, embodying composed sophistication. The café's casual bustle, fashion, and attitude portray the spirit of Paris street culture — self-aware, stylish, and slightly rebellious.
Fashion
Lifestyle Context:
During this period, women smoking in public, particularly cigars or cigarettes, became a symbol of the "New Woman": liberated, independent, and socially self-assured. In this image, the photographer captures the evolving codes of femininity and power — where smoking was no longer taboo, but a visual marker of emancipation, modernity, and sophistication.
About Photographer Gökşin Sipahioğlu (1926–2011)
Gökşin Sipahioğlu was a prominent Turkish photojournalist and the founder of Sipa Press, one of the most influential photo agencies of the 20th century. Born in İzmir, Turkey, he began his career as a journalist and editor for the daily Hürriyet. His photojournalistic talent gained international recognition, especially for his work covering the Suez Crisis, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and May '68 protests in Paris.
In 1966, Sipahioğlu relocated to Paris as a foreign correspondent. The photograph above was taken during his early Paris years, before founding Sipa Press in 1973. Known for his sharp eye and political instinct, he contributed significantly to documenting post-war culture and counterculture movements across Europe and beyond.
