Stephanie's Treasure Trove

Source: Stephanie Bernstein Shulman Collection. Model: Gia Carangi; Vogue August 1980 Dear Fellow Blogger: When I joined Twitter back in 2015, I started to collect fashion photography from the 1950s through the 1990s. Some of my favorite photographers include Richard Avedon, John French, Denis Piel, Irving Penn, John Rawlings, and Francesco Scavullo. When I felt courageous, dear Fellow Blogger, I wrote a couple of blog posts – one on the fashion photography of Victor Skrebneski and one on the fashion photography of Louise Dahl-Wolf (On Skrebrneski, see my blog post: https://gabeaflie1234.blogspot.com/2017/12/reflections-on-skrebneski.html ; on Dahl-Wolf, see my blog post: https://gabeaflie1234.blogspot.com/2018/07/dear-louise.html ) I grew up admiring models like Angie Everhart, Vendela Kirsebom, and Stephanie Seymour.

I want to thank Laini for permission to use photos from her website for  this blog entry.  Dear Fellow Blogger: I hope this blog entry finds you well.

Online, I met some great people from the around the world this past year. One of them is Steven Miller from Sydney, Australia. He is a wonderful friend, who always takes time out of his busy schedule to answer my many questions about fashion and fashion photography. Steven, who is the founder of   www.orendacreations.com.au , told me he keeps  a couple of quotes in mind when entering the creative realm of fashion: First: “Don't be like others, be yourself and be remembered;” Secondly: “To be the same as others is boring, to be different is unique. Keep it alive, fresh & new....breathe creativity.” In Steven’s case, his creative focal point is the spider web. I felt like I was reading something out of E.B White’s Charlotte’s Web when my...
