Swan Elegant "Good Hanger"

Lisa Fonssagrives stands on the top of the Eiffel Tower, wearing a Lucien Lelong lattice striped dress, without any safety protection measures, with an eclosion gesture spread over Paris. This photo was imitated by countless photographers in the future. Lisa's line of lines and graceful and slender arms and stretches were completely forgotten. This is actually a dangerous and stressful shot. But in the memory of the scene, the voice of the model himself was very unusual. Although her name is very important to the visual history of that era, she even described herself as "a good coat hanger".

The significance of Lisa Fonssagrives to fashion history is much more than playing a "good coat hanger". Her full name is Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn, whose name also reveals her two marriages. Fernand Fonssagrives was her first husband, who married in Paris in 1935. Before that, all two were private dance teachers.

Lisa was born in Sweden, and her parents loved art. Her childhood lived around the museum with her parents traveling around Europe. Later, her parents sent her to a comprehensive art school in Berlin, where she taught pure art and art related courses while she majored in dance. After learning, she returned to Stockholm to teach. Later, under the guidance of a famous Swedish dance director, she went to Paris and was taught by a Russian ballet teacher. This made her a ballet dancer outside the modern dancers.

One day, in the elevator room of his apartment, Lisa met with a photographer working for a number of high fashion houses and fashion magazines in Paris. The other party invited her to take a group of fashion films with hat. Later, her husband recommended the photos to Vogue magazine. At that time, fashion magazines did not have a standardized process of photography and publication. Photographers are free to create, and magazines can choose to publish them according to their needs. That's how Lisa first appeared in fashion magazines.

Although beautiful and elegant, with excellent posture and lines, Lisa, who first touched fashion magazines, suddenly lost confidence. Vogue arranged for her to test Horst P. Horst, one of the most famous photographers of that era. Lisa recalled that she was wearing simple clothes and did not know where to put it.

If everything is simply photographed, Lisa will not have any successes. She is very strict with photography. In order to show the proper style of her clothes, she carefully observed the women in Paris, and studied the status of all kinds of clothes on different people. Then he practiced himself in front of the mirror in the way of dancers until he reached the right state. She even began to learn photography, learning how to use light to study what effect her face will produce under different light. {page_break}
