Ms. Shrimpton's closeup shot was taken the year I was born... it's so odd the way lives overlap.

I do love the 'dressed up' look of fashion photography from the 1950s through the 1960s. <br />I do appreciate the fact that today's top fashion models come from diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds. It makes fashion more visually interesting.<br />But I don't appreciate the trash talking, drug taking, tantrum having, blood diamond accepting, dictator schmoozing models of today. I shall not name names.Belle de Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045827018848979761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-18949959583411337422010-11-13T18:05:07.452+01:002010-11-13T18:05:07.452+01:00These images are brilliant and I would love to rea...These images are brilliant and I would love to read that book.
