1920s Glamour, Edward Steichen Style

"Yachting"

A cool day at sea
Four ladies in high fashion,
Glamour head to toe.

Lanvin and Chanel
The definition of grace,
Twenties elegance.

Loose fabrics flowing,
Laughter, class, and pearls abound.
Soft pleats cascading.

Captured by Steichen,
that famous photographer
who long reigned at Vogue.

Defined an era,
with images that transcend.
Forever Steichen.


** This photograph was taken by legendary Conde Nast photographer Edward Steichen and appeared in the July 15, 1928 issue of Vogue. Copies of the photo are available to purchase at www.condenaststore.com. The title of this photo is simply "Yachting." It is my all-time favorite fashion photograph.
