Hi, this is my firt post on TheFashionSpot
I think this forums are great, and I'm sure you will be able to help me. I'm writing my degree final thesis on semiology of photography, and I will analyze Avedon's work. I wanted to concentrate more on his first years, when he was shooting Dovima and Dior's NewLook for Harper's Bazaar, but I realized that I don't have so many pictures of his sophisticated ladies to work on.
Does anybody know how and where I can find them? I'm actually looking for Harper's Bazaar numbers of that period (from 1947) and I was wondering if anybody of you has something to scan for me (mrsjamesdean... are you there? ) I'd be grateful forever, it is very important to me!
this article is about the model, Dovima, but all the photographs featured in it are by Avedon & it mentions him quite a lot, so i thought it would be just as apt on this thread..
"The Couture Cinderella", 14 page article by Mimi Swartz from Vanity Fair, June 1991, model - Dovima.
"Gaia and Tomaso Trussardi,18 years old,do as they please.Free,insolent,proud.Richard Avedon chose them for the Fall Winter ad campaign of Trussardi.A preview."

Thank-you Phila Those are fantastic......Nadja is such an outstanding model and her work with Avedon always brought amazing results.
Also never seen these pic before.
I ran into a band called Lothar and the Hand People, a psychedelic space-music band from the 60's and in their homepage there were pictures apparently taken by Avedon:
