Note
When Harper's Bazaar sent Gleb Derujinksy to Paris in the late 1950s, he was determined to shoot at locations that had not already been used by fellow fashion photographers such as Richard Avedon and Louise Dahl-Wolfe. This lively, carefree image of Carmen Dell'Orefice wearing a Christian Dior look was taken atop the Arc de Triomphe, its parapet just visible at the lower edge. This bird's-eye view of Paris is one of Derujinksy's few photographs to feature the Eiffel Tower.
