An extraordinary morning exploring the connections between George Hoyningen-Huene and Elsa Schiaparelli, behind the scenes at the house of Schiaparelli in Paris. It was fascinating to also learn more about how Daniel Roseberry is channeling Elsa’s creative spirit at the house today.

Cary Grant, published in Vanity Fair, November 1934
The article reads: Although he has been acting in America, off and on, since the days of the old Hippodrome, it was not until Mae West looked at him from under her eyelids, murmured throatily, ". . . warm, dark and handsome . . ." and sighed, that Cary Grant really began to reap his just rewards from the public. This was in She Done Him Wrong, as no one should have to be told. He was also Miss West's leading man in her second picture; and he is now firmly established as something for ladies to sigh over. His new picture is Enter Madame, with Elissa Landi.

Hollywood icon Katharine Hepburn was first photographed by George Hoyningen-Huene in 1934 and the pair became life long friends. He died on this day in 1968 and Hepburn later wrote of him:
“Texture, line, simplicity – these were the things he liked – the classic truth. He was a really cultivated man and sufficiently knowledgeable to have faith in his own opinion.”

A portrait of George Hoyningen-Huene in the Vogue Studio, by Walter Lichtenstein (né Limot), 1934.
Born on this day in 1900, Huene became the chief photographer at Vogue Paris in the late 1920s and contributed thousands of images to the magazine over the next decade. In this portrait he leans nonchalantly against the large format camera and holds his newest Vogue cover, 1 February 1934. Behind him we glimpse a backdrop of Grecian masks, a vast enlargement one of his still-life studies which was used for several glamorous shoots in 1934.
