After a long week with little sleep I am pleased that the week is coming to an end.
Best of all it’s a long weekend here in Australia (because it’s Australia day on Monday!).
I spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in Newcastle this week (for work with no time at all to shop, which was really very annoying). I’ve been unable to arrange any pictures for today so instead I decided to do a post about Lisa Fonssagrives
Born on the 17/05/1911 Lisa Fonssagrives is considered by many to be the first supermodel a contemporary of Sofia Loren
she moved from Sweden to Paris in order to train for the Ballet only to become one of the highest paid models of her time.
But enough information lets take a look at the dreamy pictures and glamorous fashions of her day:
You may recognise the Silhouette here, can anyone name the designer who was inspired by this picture very recently?
Have a fantastic weekend!

Happy Friday (there)! I need the wknd to come sooner...I love all the photos! And your "about me" is fantastic :)
She's gorgeous. Even bigger she has been in so many memorable photos.
I think it's such a shame that nowadays women lost their "grace and classiness".
I love these pictures xxx
she is soo fabulous!

Great photos, and it really was one of those weeks where nobody had time to blog let alone breathe!! I'm so glad we are all back to normal, somewhat...
To live in her days is a fashion dream. She's so beautiful.
xo
Wow! Those photos are amazing! I love the one in which she's hanging off the bridge (?). Nice to know they were a little "out there" back then too.
I love that silhouette - the one you mentioned the recent fashion designer, but I can't pick who it is =(. Any clues?
Bambola x
P.S. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I <3 Aussie bloggers

Oh and the designer who's collection that was in part inspired by Lisa Fonssagrives was John Galliano for Christian Dior.
I'll search for a link with pictures!

I love these photos! They're unique and interesting but yet very elegant.

Wow, she was BUILT for the new look. I only hope my 'new' 1955 diet of dry toast and black coffee can get me into a smaller merry widow come april cuz I am going all out in my dress for the opera u can bet. Thanks for stopping by my blog today, by the way.

Beautiful photos. I've never heard of Lisa but she is so stunning - regal and haughty! I love it <3
Ok doll, try Skin Deep, Jane Bell Lane, at QV ph 96630060.
They are cheap but good - the therapists are lovely and do a proper job. They don't rush it and get tint in your eyes!
Hope that helps darling xxx
