How do I follow up all of the models I've revisited so far this month?
How about with this?
Are your knees wobbling yet? Having trouble breathing, perhaps? Yeah, me too . . . :-O
This intensely exquisite photo of Iman, whom I last featured here in January 2017, was taken by fashion photographer Robert Farber in 1977, and it is the most astonishing picture in her portfolio by a wide margin. The intricate white lace veil that partially obscures her face - not enough to mask it, but enough to provide a sense of mystery - provides a stark contrast to her dark brown skin and her bare torso. The black backdrop only adds to the mysterious mood, complementing Iman's own aura. And I haven't even mentioned her dusky blue eye shadow or ruby lipstick . . ..
I almost melted when I first saw this picture.
Many a man who gazed upon this photo must have imagined gently lifting her veil in order to kiss her tenderly. I'm sure David Bowie must have, too. :-)
