Imagine having two of the most prolific fashion models of the 1980s in one astonishing picture. You don't have to. Here it is.
Yes, this is Carol Perkins, whom I described as an unsung model of the eighties, with another great model of the decade who wasn't as famous as she should have been - Sheila Johnson, one of my favorite subjects on this blog. In fact, this was the photo that introduced me to both of them. It's from the August 1982 Fashions Of the Times supplement of the New York Times Sunday Magazine.
Photographer Bob Krieger caught these two legendarily beautiful women in this astonishingly glamorous pose. And the dresses, accentuated by jewelry from Adler of Byzantium, are breathtaking with their large, wide, curved edges.
You'd never guess that they're Calvin Klein dresses.
No matter what sort of dress today's designers come up with today, they're unlikely to find women as classy and as lovely as Carol Perkins and Sheila Johnson to model them. :-)
