His career changed dramatically in 1934 when George Hoyningen-Huene left for Hollywood. At the end of his 6 months’ contract, he came back to Paris. Condé Nast’s editor then offered him a work in Manhattan for the American edition of Vogue but Horst soon regreted his choice when he realized the studio was very small, badly equipped and that his work was boring.

Mehemed Agha, artistic director of the American Vogue offered Horst to become a photographer himself after training at Vogue’s studio in Paris. Horst became his friend and model, and the baron introduced him to Paris’ finest society of the 1930s. However, the internship that had started in 1930 came to a sudden end as the young German seduced Montparnasse’s artistic world and was introduced to the Russian fashion photographer Baron George Hoyningen-Huene. Whilst studying architecture in Hamburg, he wrote a letter filled with admiration to Le Corbusier who then invited him to join him in Paris to finish his training in his agency.
