Pauline Trigre Evening Dress

A boulder-strewn plain in Cappadocia, Turkey, is the setting for this stunning Henry Clarke photograph, which appeared in the December 1, 1966, Vogue. A model wears an orange-and-blue print evening dress with matching toga scarf by Pauline Trigère, both of which are rendered nearly transparent by the bright light emanating from the top right corner. Her dancelike pose conveys a sense of energy and movement, while the antiquated statue head next to her looks on stoically. The overall effect allows the excitement of the fashion to confront the viewer almost viscerally.
