This is the most unusual photo of SUZY PARKER that I have found. WHY?The gorgeous evening gown was created by Parisian designer
Jean Desses out of
aluminum cloth!
It was photographed by
Richard Avedon in
Paris!
These two photos were actually a
1956 double-page
ad for the Aluminum Company of America!
Here is a photo of
Suzy Parker and
Richard Avedon from the
August 19, 1958 Look magazine article entitled,
The Strange Case of Suzy Parker. It was written after the tragic death of her father. I'll be posting the entire article soon in her
Portfolio Album.
All of these photos can be found in
Suzy Parker's Portfolio Album. I've also posted the one with
Richard Avedon in the
History of Modeling Album: Some Top 60s Photographers: Richard Avedon.
