In the early 80′s a teenage girl picked up a book of extraordinary photographs of ordinary people, and decided then and there that she wanted to be a photographer. The book was the work of Irving Penn, the famous fashion photographer for Vogue. His portraits featured very plain canvas back drops, and his studio made use of the North light. We designed this window in memory of his passing away this week. The dress is a 1950′s Suzy Perette version of a “New Look” gown. There are a couple of 50′s era Vogue magazines on the black trunk. The camera is a Burke and James 8×10 view camera. Mr. Penn’s photographs continue to inspire.

Here’s another of the many great gowns that have arrived in the store this week. This one is a 1950′s chiffon with sporty looking graphic velvet stripes. Wear with Cinderella’s glass slippers or pink Chuck Taylors.
