Weekend Reading: Street-style Seniors + Fashion Photography

Jean Patchett, Granada, Spain, 1953, by Louise Dahl-Wolfe

Imagine what fashion photography was like in 1936. Today, it’s everywhere, but how did it take shape? A book is set to be released about Louise Dahl-Wolfe, who shot 86 covers for Harper’s Bazaar, and photographed while fashion photography was still taking form. Imagine the power and excitement, not to mention the freedom, of working in such a new field.
