Much appreciated. It’s remarkable that she basically did all this in 9 short years (1927-36). Her memoirs, narrated by herself, were published by her family a few years ago, but methinks only in German so far. As for Weimar Republic women, this little exhibition was an interesting glimpse into fashion and role changes: http://www.georg-kolbe-museum.de/2008/02/glamour/. If you want all this in a nutshell, check out the life and ways of Ruth Landshoff. Oh, and Isherwood’s Berlin diaries add a nice backstory, too.
Oh wow… these are so subtle. So beautiful. So full of gentle, sweet and subtle erotic atmosphere. I would love to see modern photography have more of subtle side like this. Beautiful.
Love these vintage pictures. I recently read The Tattler column about you with Garance’s picture of you. You have really started something that has a huge influence on many people. I especially love pictures of people on the street and how they present themselves to the world. Such styling innovation!
In the first pic, she looks like Cate Blanchett!
She really puts out her confidence withoput disregarding her delicacy! Timeless and priceless. Thank you.
In the first image she looks like Cate Blanchet or better to say Cate Blanchet looked like her in the movie by Scorsese “the aviator” in which she played the role of Katherine Hepburn.
I just discovered another amazing woman photographer, Vivian Maier.
She was a nanny and strolled around the city with her rolliflex with her…her work was discovered only after her death, by chance..her story hit my attention.
I suggest to the all of you to take a look at her pictures:http://www.vivianmaier.com/…she was somehow a forerunner cool-hunter!
have a nice day

what you have to understand about this pictures, this woman, the era in which they were taken, is that there was sooo much homosexuality (hidden, of course – or, at least at first take) that certain women were simply dying to be acknowledged as sexually acceptable…hence imitating men. Naturally, it went also with the frustration of not being accepted as equals in a (bloody) White Man’s World (and mostly a Rich Fat White Man’s World at that). Liberation, but sad longing to be SEEN.
