About the Item
By David Seidner & Martin Harrison
Lisa Fonssagrives was one of the greatest fashion models of the twentieth century and muse to some of the most influential photographers - including Horst, Man Ray, Richard Avedon and her husband Irving Penn.

Together with a biographical essay by renowned photo historian Martin Harrison, the book provides a glorious introduction to the golden age of fashion photography and its most famous icon. 149 pages. 1st edition.
This would make a fantastic gift, as this book has both author signatures on the front title page.
