Backstory:
In 1960 a day before a row of brownstones was razed, across the street from the artist’s studio, on East 58th St, 43 women in elegant attire showed up for a shoot. The models went into the building slated for demolition, climbed the old stairs, and took their places in the windows. The artist Ormond Gigli directed the scene from his fire escape.
Gigli had worked quickly to secure City permissions, arrange for the models, which included the demolition crew supervisor's wife - third floor, third from left, his wife - second floor, far right, and secure a Rolls Royce to be parked on the sidewalk.
The shoot was accomplished during the workers' lunch time with no incidents while the 43 models posed on crumbling windowsills for a masterwork that is considered one of the most famous fashion photographs of the 20th Century.
