Credits for the wonderful photographs I was able to use to create this website are from the great work of John Rawlings (1912-1970).

A fashion photographer from the 1930s through the 1960s. Rawlings left a significant body of work, including 200 Vogue magazines and Glamour magazine covers to his credit and 30.000 photos in archive, Rawlings was in the elite circle of top Vogue photographers.

I also used a perfect black& white picture from Henry Clarke which for me represents what fashion should be all about: beautiful workmanship and materials combined with a perfect fit.

Henry Clarke was born in Los Angeles in 1918 a renowned fashion photographer, discovered his calling in 1945 whilst working as an accessorist at Cond Nast in New York.

During an encounter with the Cecil Beaton during a photography session at Vogue’s studio, Clarke was entranced by the photographic image.

He promptly abandoned his fashion job, borrowed a Rolleiflex camera and began taking pictures.

Photograph of Ilja Visser is made by Peter Stigter.

All other photographs are placed in consultancy with the brands, artist names not available.
