John Rawlings 1948

Mark Morning Taffeta Gown
One of the first lensmen to elevate fashion photography to an art form, John Rawlings is known for iconic, glamorous images with a certain underlying mystique. In this photograph, from the October 1, 1948, Vogue, he captures from above a model in a made-to-order chocolate brown taffeta gown by Mark Morning, worn with a matching Baum Martens fur shrug and bronze Delman slippers.

This picture is STUNNING. She is so beautiful. The composition is perfect. Doesn't she look like she's just got up to some excellent sex? :-)
