Susan Abraham and Fiona Campbell-Walter (later Baroness Thyssen) modelling for Vogue magazine, July 1951 for a seaside feature by fashion editor Sheila Whetton.⁣ ⁣ The original caption read, “Choice of the month: Three-piece rayon beach suit that is the one way ticket to a luggage-light fashion-right and carefree holiday.⁣ ⁣ The playsuit is a halter top and shorts in one, of Tootal’s white Lystav, to wash and wash again, sashed with a streak of Mediterranean blue dupion. (Left) Worn with the matching blue coolie coat of just the same length, sleeveless with winged cuffs. (Right) The same playsuit, same sash, with white wrapover skirt. By Roecliff and Chapman.”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 📸 by Norman Parkinson (@norman_parkinson)⁣ ⁣ Purchase fine art from the archive: iconicimagesgallery.com or contact: [email protected]⁣ ⁣ License photography from the archive: iconiclicensing.net⁣ ⁣ #normanparkinson #iconicimages #susanabraham #fionacampbellwalter #voguemagazine #britishvogue #vogue #sheilawhetton #tootal #lystav #roecliffandchapman #1950sfashion #50sfashion #vintagefashion #fashionphotography #1950sphotography #50sphotography #vintagephotography
