In the first few pages there are an array of gorgeous large page spreads of uncredited photos. One of them, is this beaut:
I recognised this picture instantly. I'm so damn cool that sometimes when I see an uncredited fashion photo I like to see if I can recognise/work out who it is by either purely from memory or by evaluating their photographic style and often the models involved. I am proud to announce that in this little round I correctly identified two Irving Penns, a Steven Miesel, a Peter Lindbergh and a Helmut Newton (woo! 10 points to gryffindor). But this mysterious smoking vamp had me stumped. I KNEW I had seen this photo before, and I was umming and ahhing on whether it was another Irving Penn, or perhaps even a Guy Bourdin or Richard Avedon. I looked through all my photography files on my trusty mac and found it saved under Cecil Beaton..!
Thankfully I managed to find the credits for these introductory pages buried in the back of the book, and consequently discovered Klein. He's quite the magician. Take a look.

She's a bit scary isn't she? Whoa. But nonetheless, Klein rules.
