Specialist note

Norman Parkinson – tall dashing, with a twinkle in his eye and considerable charm – was among the greatest British fashion and style photographers of all time. He was particularly skilled at creating a seemingly natural and effortless mood of elegance and spontaneous grace, at his best in situations, such as this memorable shoot for Vogue that allowed for a degree of improvisation.
