    A classic amongst fashion photographs, this image was photographed on the rooftop of the Paris offices of Vogue, using props to acheive the illusion of a diving board and horizon. This print was photographed by George Hoyningen-Huene and supervised and printed by Horst P. Horst, who was acting as Huene’s assistant and a favored model at the time.
