Bettina Jones and male model wear beachwear by Schiaparelli
British Vogue, 1928
The designer Elsa Schiaparelli had close contacts with the Surrealists, especially Salvador Dalí. Although this swimwear is understated in comparison to her other designs, the photographer introduces a surreal note by placing a half-seen mannequin at the top of the scene. Its legs resemble those of model Jones standing below.
