Lee Miller wears dress by Patou
1931
Lee Miller (1907-77) straddled the worlds of fashion and photography. She was a successful model, artist's muse and a celebrated photographer in her own right, studying under the surrealist artist and photographer Man Ray. Miller posed many times for Hoyningen-Huene, the chief of photography at French Vogue. In this image she wears the 'Frôleuse' dress by French designer Jean Patou.
