專家說明

The captivating love story of Milton H. Greene and French model Nellie Nyad is one that remains enshrouded in secrecy and intrigue. The two first crossed paths on a stairwell between the photoshoots for Balenciaga and Givenchy in Paris. A romance quickly developed, and when Nyad’s husband, a wealthy duke with a criminal record, learned of the affair and threatened Greene’s life, the photoshoot was moved to Madrid. The affair continued for a number of years, although Nyad would soon disappear from the limelight of fashion and glamour, leaving behind a body of work illustrative of her mysterious aura and haunting beauty.
