This afternoon, James and I headed to the Met to check out the fantastic “Model As Muse” exhibit. Among the photography of Twiggy and Turlington by the likes of Bailey, Avedon, and Meisel were the portraits of Marisa Berenson, supposedly a sixties counterpoint to the leggy waifish doe-eyed likes of models like Penelope Tree. She looked so familiar and I couldn’t place her until… I realized she’s the girl from Kubric’s 1975 costume drama Barry Lyndon. Let’s get acquainted, shall we?
I would wear this and pretend it doesn’t look like a shower cap.
Very “I Dream of Jeanie” although it should be Kenneth Anger’s “Lucifer Rising.”
Please note this insane hairdo. It’s like Rapunzel meets Cousin It. Or a personal head-broom.
This seems more Cabaret-era
I think I have this dress
I need these eyelashes. How long would that take….
Oh, yeah, sorry. Back to the task at hand. Screen shots of Barry Lyndon.
Fans of Marie Antoinette, if they are prepared to sit through a longggg film will love the costume design, cinematography (in particular the wide angle shots, the natural lighting) and the epic rags to riches to rags narrative. Gotta say though, love Ryan O’Neil a lot more in Paper Moon. But that just might be me.
She looks a little weary here, but it’s tiring wearing all those hats.
Nancy Kwan was a fox.
I don’t know why, but I didn’t realize until today that Kwan is the girl from “The World of Suzy Wong,” and the model from Terence Donovan’s photo of Vidal Sassoon’s famous bob. This image became, basically, the mod icon of the era. ANDDDD she’s the woman from the PEARL CREAM video. My mind just exploded.
I first encountered Suzy Wong in a “Sex Race and Representation” class years ago; it’s a film that inspires discussion about Orientalism, the exotic, the “Other.” Kwan plays the “classic” role of the hooker with a heart of gold and there are a lot of cringe worthy scenes ripe with Asian stereotypes. The film is definitely a product of its time, but also pushed some boundaries because I think she was the first famous (half) Asian actor in an American film out of America–before Asian roles were filled with white men and women playing dress up.
I’d like to find more photos and information on non-white sixties ladies. Time to do some research.
I own a lot of sixties teen and fashion magazines, but until tonight I never knew any model names beyond the obvious: Twiggy, Peggy Moffitt, Jean Shrimpton, Penelope Tree. I just stumbled upon Mini Mad Mod 60’s: an online archive filled with images of some of my favorite mystery muses. Several girls, like Lucy Angle or Jean White, I had clipped out and framed over the years.
Jean White, with her big eyes, Shirley Temple ringlets, and a Betty Boop styled expression is often styled in Great Gatsby themed outfits; perfect for the sixties-twenties moment that happened around ‘68 or ‘70.
Then there’s Lucy Angle who rocks one of the cutest bowl cuts I’ve seen. I used to bring her photo to hairdressers back when I attempted one. She appeared on some of my favorite Seventeen covers. For some reason she reminds me of Mia Farrow. No surprise, loooovvvveeeee her.
oh, and by the way, there are some epic sixties fashion images on this live journal entry: ana-lee
