A sheath cocktail dress by Balenciaga made from hundreds of scalloped bands of silk chiffon sewn on a straight slip. Photograph by Gordon Parks. Paris, 1950.
At first when I saw this, I thought it was a woman with a beard. Upon closer inspection I now realise it’s not, yet I can’t help still feeling it should be a bearded woman in that dress. It just feels right.
