Leombruno-Brodi


I love this photo by Leombruno-Brodi called the Lady and the Cheetha.
He was the same generation as 1960's Horst; Norman Parkinson; Louise Dahl-Wolfe; William Bell and Irving Penn.
Then came the British photographers invasion with the Beatles and 'cool Britannia' began with Bailey, Donovan and Duffy.

See the above Vogue cover from January 15th 1959 Remaking Yourself

Cover: Dolores Hawkins, first 60's supermodel wears the new stepped-up shade of lipstick “Rhythm Red” with sky-blue eyeshadow photographed by William Bell.
