Regard fixe

Yes, a piercing gaze is the best accessory, isn't it? Glorious shot taken by a photographer I haven't heard too much about - Sackmann. You might think that the styling was imperfect since the model's bangs are so uneven - this kind of thing happens to those of us who have a swirl in an unfortunate place - but personally, I think it just adds to the appeal.



A photograph that provides the perfect antidote for the superfocused stare above - Angelica Huston shot by Bob Richardson for Dior. Now, that's chilling.





Gunilla Lindblad wears YSL rive gauche. Pretty smashing...

A bathroom with a view

This was a great find in a Marie Claire from 1973 - an editorial I'd never seen by Helmut Newton featuring one of his favourite models of that year - Gunilla Lindblad. It seems to be related to a PR story for Cacharel if you read the captions and credits. Incidentally, it's also the most beautiful bathroom ever.



Another surprise was finding an editorial by Sackman - he has several wonderful shots in this issue of Marie Claire and I can't really remember much of his work elsewhere.

Always keep your Mick handy

It certainly looks like the inimitable Apple - Appolonia - in this editorial by an unspecified photographer. Mick Jagger as he was featured in Performance looming in the background.


Antonio Lopez and some lovely Ladies who are both dressed in Cardin (if I interpret the captions correctly).


Gunilla Lindberg, the Swedish model who was active especially around 1969-1973.


Running away from it all (dressed in Feraud and Lanvin).
