Mark Shaw for Vanity Fair, 1953

After a long time without posting on my blog, here is a sweet "welcome back" treat for all my friends vintage & photography lovers:

An award winning lingerie advertising campaign shot by Mark Show for Vanity Fair. The magnificent model is Carmen Dell'Orefice. Nightdresses, tunics and gowns with myriad pleats that look like feather wings of an angel. These are my favourites out of the 30 existing photos from one of the best fashion editorials of the 1950's.
