I want to be this photo. Two cool celebrities + a great styling job and presentation.

So Femme Fatale, I’m in love.
This is breathtaking. I feel like this look should be called Lady Noir.

Girl is one of my new favorite models! She’s gorgeous and from interviews, seems way more down to earth than other models. Then again, she’s a newbie, I guess time will tell. Her facial mole makes me want to consider a Monroe again, I’ve been going on and off about it. But I love these photos, especially the one with the arched back. Beautiful.
Why are backs so beautiful?! It’s that curve. That curve just says so much.
These ads combine my love for high fashion, black cats, and black/white color palettes.

“The perversions of inequality are absent; what appears instead is the glamour of a protracted cultural moment in which women were free from any expectation of sexual pursuit. The power of Ms. Bassman’s photographs is the power of a woman who is never moved to make a call.”
An image from Harper’s Bazaar in 1947.

“”The clothes have a structured beauty; the gloves are mandatory; the necks are long. Elegant men with cigarettes between their fingers occasionally enter the frame, encountering women who appear utterly indifferent to their attention.”
“Dovima, New York,” 1954, reinterpreted in 1994.
