My local hardware shop has made a rather, umm, interesting use of the fabulous photograph:
Manfax.
Oh my!
It's really amazing to think how much Penn's work influences our view of fashion history, especially the 50s. That photo you used is one of my all time favorites!
This is my favorite of Penn's fashion photos, and I was happy to find others from the same shoot. Certainly there are so many more of his photos that shaped our view, as you say Lizzie, especially of the New Look era.
