Smoke
Posted: November 20, 2017 Filed under: 1970s, david bailey, ingrid boulting, Inspirational Images, Make-up, Max Factor, Vogue Leave a comment
The look created by Gil, Max Factor’s magician, was inspired by a dress called Smoke by Gerard Pipart for Nina Ricci. A sinuous wisp of gunmetal satin, a series of bias cut panels sweeping to the floor. The nightshade eyes, shining, heavy lidded in a face pale as moonglow, and startled by a rich, dark mouth.
Modeled by Ingrid Boulting
