She's got gorgeous body!!!

wow wow wow
chapeau!

This photo instantly became one of my favorites.

She is so beautiful. I guess it is outrageous for 1928 but i'm glad she had the courage to do something new! I like when people do that without going crazy.

I must say, the Italians are leaving us in the dust with this vintage stuff.

I love her figure in this suit. There's something about seeing the width of the hemline that makes you notice her beautiful wasteline. Three cheers for hips.

She's absolutely beautiful.

Spectacular! I wonder what kind of camera this was?

she's super hot and vibrant! i love the shot!

fashion ssugar wonderland.

The cut of that swimsuit is amazing. What nerve and sense of style!

Every time you post one of these fabulous vintage photos I get closer to tossing out all of my 'modern' clothes. That hair is terrific as well.

Great shoulders and a beautiful bod in general. Elegantly racy for the day it was taken.

LOVE the vintage fotos – keep 'em coming, please.

she's so gorgeous! i love bathing suits like these…

ah, san remo in the twenties….

just a skip over to la napoule would set her straight into 'tender is the night' – i imagined the same kind of hair, swimsuits and postures throughout that book.

this photograph is so warming. so beautiful.

I LOVE this – she seems to have a look in her eye that says ,"One day I'm going to be admired by thousands…How or when I don't know…but ONE day." p.s. Love the sepia tones, but this is the first vintage photo you've posted where I'd love to see it in colour too!

Beautiful grandmother!

what a graceful woman..I really love the hair and the way she sits on the beach so elegantly

Stunning!

Thank you so much for sharing this image!

she was so beautiful:)

It's interesting to see how 18 year olds look like back then.

Scott,

Like so many others here, I have really enjoyed looking at the images from this photo contest. I wonder if one of the crucial elements which make these personal photos so compelling is the genuine affection of the photographer regarding their subject. This gaze of the photographer seems to bring out something honest and unguarded in the men and women captured. The best portraits really resonate emotionally like these – I think many of your photos have this quality too.

so pretty. :)

Vintage Diva!

She looks fabulous. Brava for Giulia & her Italian elegance.

Graceful!

Divina, sembra una starlet Tedesca.

Those muscles! Was she an athlete?

This is an amazing photo!

What a feeling it has to be if this is your own granny?! She's a beauty, Maurizia!

I adore vintage photos and hope to see much more here!

Wow, thats nice :)
Beutiful picture!

its not often enough that you come across a slender figure with elongated legs and a narrow waste, who is not impacted by the severe fashion world we are influenced today. You can see how healthy she is, it is really refreshing.

Such a classic hairstyle, it makes her appear quite sophisticated, particularly for an 18 year old, a lovely wish would be to bring back this era.

maybe on my next birthday…
lovely to et a glimpse of what inspires you, you have wonderful taste

Thanks to Scott for sharing the photo of our grandmother and thanks to all of you for your nice comments, we loved them. We wonder what she would think if she could read them….

first of all, the yellowish colour theme in this photo give it a lot of depth and put a old menory mood right on.
second, her posture so elegant that even should not be mentioned since too obvious, it is her very neat hair that hold my eyes, and those eyes, confident and welcoming, or proud and privite.

this photo keep me thinking of the song"cry me a river"

una bellezza al mare!

Nice shoulders

Wonderfully daring for the times. Beautiful young woman!

Is this a tribute photo? I assume you posted it 'in memoriam'? If yes, sorry for your loss. She's really beautiful

I feel like that dress/bather screams Rick Owens!

She is truly beautiful and such a classic photo to be proud of! The cut of the suit is amazing considering the year – totally flattering!

She is absolutely gorgeous and I love the composition of the photo. The sharpness of her eyes and face… Stunning.

She has the body of my dreams.
Yes, your grandma is incredible, Maurizia :-)
