Inspiration

This portrait of Luisa Casati The Quai Venice by Kees van Dongen ca. 1921 was the inspiration behind Norman Norell's Fall 1960 "van Dongen Collection" (Norell also owned the portrait). I posted the below image several months ago before I even knew about Marchesa Casati, kinda neat. I just really love Norell's Mermaid dress and how this shoot was styled and now I know why!
