I've found some real gems while looking through a lot of 50's fashion photography, including this fantastic photograph of the french dancer and actress Leslie Caron in sphinx-like pose, claws included. The photo was taken by often overlooked fashion photographer, Clifford Coffin. The image on the right is another Coffin image from a poster that I picked up from the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh in 2003. An intriguing image that I had on my wall in Wellington for 2 years. I'd love to know where the poster is now, after six house shifts since I took it off my wall.
