RICHARD AVEDON AND TWIGGY, PARIS 1967



Did you know he started off as a lowly assistant at Harper's Bazaar? And on his days off as a youngster, he dressed up his sister all around NYC and shot her all day, every day? His father owned a department store and that's where he got the clothes to dress her up.

And fashion (let alone the world of) photography has changed forever.
