50's Fashion Photographer - Irving Penn

Here is the work of another 50's fashion photographer, Irving Penn (1917-2009).  This American born photographer began working at Vogue Magazine at age 26 and continued a relationship with them for 40 years.  He most often used simple grey or white backdrops for his sophisticatd fashion images.

No white or grey backdrop!

70's Inspired Fashion Shoot

I really enjoyed getting to style this fun 70's inspired fashion shoot...complete with vintage travel trailer.  The wardrobe for the shoot included two 70's staples...high waist flare jeans and a flowing hippie maxi dress.  And check out the cool striped vintage tunic vest.  It's for sale in my Hip Fashion Stylist Vintage Boutique at   http://www.etsy.com/shop/hipfashionstylist
