“A great designer does not seek acceptance. He challenges popularity, and by the force his convictions renders popular in the end what the public hates at first sight.”~ Charles James “I’ve never not worked. I’m 93 years old and I have been working since I was 15.”~ Lillian Bassman During the many years I collaborated with Lillian she was always working, always trying something new and pushing the envelope. She was working till the very last moment she left us at 95 years old. She was a creative force of nature.This is the quintessence of a great 1950’s fashion shot. One of the greatest fashion photographers ever, one of the greatest designers ever, Charles James and one of the great fashion models of the era Sunny Harnett.As George Gershwin wrote in ”I got Rhythm““Who could ask for anything more?”
