Melvin Sokolsky (b.1938)
Simone wears fashion by Venet, River Seine, Paris
American Harper’s Bazaar, 1963
Sokolsky began his brief but intense career as a fashion photographer in 1959 working for Harper’s Bazaar. Audaciously imaginative, he could bestow a magical aura on even the plainest outfits. His famous ‘Bubble’ series features models floating over rivers and through the city streets of Paris and New York.
