Shutterbug Friday #1: Clifford Coffin and The Art of Post-War Chic
Clifford Coffin was a photographer for Vogue magazine at a time, the 1950s, when Fashion came as close as it ever will to the condition of iconography.
I have his book that came out five or six years ago. But sadly out of print now. But worth checking out - and it's a beauty. Thanks for putting this work up.
Hi Tom,Cliffort Coffin-ich habe noch nicht viel von ihm gehört. Da fällt mir P.Horst ein mit seinem wunderbarem Studiolicht,"The Mainbocher corset",oder auch Richard Avedon letzte Sebstportraits.Cecil Beaton."Odalique". E,Sittwell ,Portrait. Um nur wenige zu nennen,würde Clifford Coffin sich wunderbar in diese Serie einfügen.Thanks for this "Beautyful" post.

Brilliant work - the lighting was magical, and the compositions were sublime. Great little series, Tom!
Great series!
Absolutely wonderful, and a great idea for a series.
Fascinating. Its an aspect of photography that I've never really looked at.
Where can I find more? Fantastic.
I've just answered my own question. Been over to Google images. Thank you for introducing me to this genius.
Not to mention the great look of scans from old transparencies.
incredible! Thanks again
those are great..a few of them looked like they were shot just yesterday and hard to tell if they are the real thing or a current re-creation..
Lovely Tom.
Reminded me of 'Funny Face'.
Tanks for posting these, a revelation.
Nice. Nice.
oh yeah..Funny Face has a brilliant opening montage
