The photographs of Edward Steichen are characterized by a bold sense of visual drama as well as a newly independent feminine ideal. Both elements are present in this image of models Ruth Covell and Marion Morehouse that appeared in the October 15, 1932, Vogue. Morehouse, a Steichen favorite, soon married poet e.e. cummings; Covell wears an ensemble by Madeleine Vionnet of a long white crepe dress with a dark sash.
