With her timeless elegance, Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn (1911-1992) is at once the embodiment and apotheosis of fashion.
An extraordinary presence, immortalised between the 1930s and 1950s by the world's greatest fashion photographers : Horst, Hoyningen- Huene, Blumenfeld, Dahl-Wolfe, Avedon, Penn, Fonssagrives...
A dancer, model, photographer and sculptor, the multi-faceted Lisa is revealed here through a collection of personal prints, as intimate as they are fascinating.
