About This Work

British model Wenda Parkinson wears a satin Molyneaux evening gown while posing with a 1907 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost for British Vogue in 1950. Wenda was one of Norman Parkinson's favorite subjects and a year after the pair's first assignment together, they got married.

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.
