Swedish by birth, Parisian by inclination, and American following her marriage to Irving Penn, Lisa Fonssagrives was the first supermodel in the history of fashion photography posing for all prominent photographers of her time. This opulently produced homage, now available in an unchanged reprint, is an almost nostalgic look back on the Golden Age of fashion photography in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.
