About This Work
Pamela Minchin is photographed on the Isle of Wight wearing Fortnum and Mason’s dark burgundy Lastex satin swimsuit with a ballet skirt during a July 1939 photoshoot for Harper’s Bazaar. Parkinson's work revolutionized the world of British fashion photography in the 1940s by bringing models from the rigid studio environment into a far more dynamic outdoor setting.
About the Artist
Sir Norman Parkinson (1913–1990) was a British portrait and fashion photographer whose four-decade career transformed the aesthetic of 20th-century magazine work. Shooting for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Town & Country, he took models out of the studio into landscapes, streets and factories — humanising fashion photography and paving the way for the modern editorial image.
