Glamour: Richard Avedon Style

My favorite exhibition that I have seen in the last few weeks has been Avedon Fashion: 1944 - 2000 at the International Center for Photography. This is an extensive show with over 200 photographs of iconic models such Dovima, Dorian Leigh, Twiggy and Penelope Tree, originally published in magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, capturing the glamour of decades past. I especially was mesmerized by the beautiful, elegant, black and white photographs from the 40's, 50's, 60's, so many of them shot in Paris. Here are just a few images. A visit to the museum to see lots more is well worth it! 

Dovima Paris 1955 

Dorian Leigh, Paris 1949 

Carmen, Paris 1957 

Suzy Parker and Robin Tattersall, Paris 1956 

Veruschka, 1967 

The International Center of Photography is at 6th Ave and 43rd St, near Time's Square, and the show is on all through the summer until September 20th.
