Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn: Ms. Irving Penn, Goddess of Purpose at MEP.
Swedish model from New York, who appeared on the cover of “Time” in 1949 at the age of 38 and posed for the greatest photographers. She wears a Lafaurie dress between the black sheath and the antique drape which is strangled at her ultra-thin waist. A bouquet of silk roses blooms near her bare shoulder. The images of this Woman with Roses will be the subject of extensive portfolios in the American, British and French editions of Vogue.
