The New Look
This is a poor-quality photo from a Japanese fashion magazine I've had since 1996. I have never seen this photo online so I thought I would contribute it to the Internet. It's as breathtaking, to me, as the Zapruder film: the exact split-second The New Look was first seen.
Outside the windows the temperature had fallen to 13 degrees below zero; it was the worst winter Paris had endured since 1870. Despite all that, the feeling inside those rooms on February 12, 1947 was pure pleasure, positively voluptuous, and legend has it that as more and more models swirled past, those women seated in that photogragh began to self-consiously tug on the hems of their knee-length (and with that very moment terribly out-of-style) skirts.
