A dragonfly in amber






Origional limited edition Mark Shaw fashion photos from 1954 Paris France. These are part of a never published series of photographs taken for LIFE magazine backstage at the Pierre Balmain couture fashion show. These are sold as a limited edition of 30 for $800 at Svenska Mobler. Although they are by no means affordable for the average fashion enthusiest, they are a priceless peice of fashion history. I would love to use them to adorn my vanity bathroom, or a hallway.
