This is what I’d call a fantastic fashion photograph. The model is Evelyn Tripp. This cool photo in black and white was taken for Harper’s Bazaar, issue of May 1954 (the photo was obviously taken before that, so that it could appear in that issue of the magazine). And the photographer, Lillian Bassman.
