'John French, (1907-1966) one of London's top fashion photographers during the 1950s and early 1960s, was once described as "the man who brought a new glamour to fashion photography". Best known for his impeccably lit, stylish photographs of top models, which featured regularly in the national press, perhaps his most important achievement was to revolutionize newspaper coverage of fashion. Over 100 photographs are gathered here to illustrate his contribution to fashion photography and chart the changes in fashionable dress between 1948 and 1965.

Roy Strong, Snowdon, Vere French, Davie Bailey, Terence Donovan, Charles Fielder, Brigid Keenan and Tania Radcliffe give vivid descriptions of John French's work and explain his role in the world of fashion photography.' 

This is the only book on John French and was published to coincide with an exhibition of his work at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The exhibition was based upon French's archive, which had been donated to the V&A by his widow, Vere French. The catalogue includes a chronology, recollections by those who worked with him, a bibliography and a collection of French's photographs. The photographs reflect the understated elegance and glamour of the New Look and feature clothes designed in both London and Paris. Designers featured include Barbara Goalen, Dior, Jacques Fath, Anne Gunning, Hardy Amies, Norman Hartnell, Nina Ricci, John Cavanagh, Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent, Mary Quant, Madame Paulette, Barbara Hulanicki and Andre Courreges.

Nice sweatshirt
Color: White, Size: Small
Really happy with this sweatshirt. The material is soft, warm, and has a nice thickness without feeling bulky—perfect for crisp fall days and layering in winter. The quilted texture and mock neck give it a more polished, upscale look than a regular sweatshirt. Fits true to size, and the color is vibrant and unique. I like the quarter-snap buttons and chest pocket for a little extra style and function. Easy to dress up or down with jeans or boots, and works great for everyday wear or going out. Definitely a solid addition to a fall/winter wardrobe.

Buy it!!! Do not skip on this sweater
Color: Dark Grey, Size: XX-Large
I bought this for my husband to wear if he needed something nicer in the cold weather . But i have wore it more than him because how amazing it is. First off the material is such great quality, it is hard to explain that its thick/ dense but not thick.. the sweater is thin, light and wonderful yet feels thick good quality. It did not shrink when washed, fits wonderfully and color has stayed strong as well. It looks high quality and is an amazing value for the price. No one would know it was not name brand. Do not skip on this sweater.
