While vacationing in Europe, I seized the opportunity to photograph Jessica Peru (John Carmel) at Avenue de Camoëns in Paris, styled in a classic Dior “New Look” silhouette. Paris home to Christian Dior and the birthplace of postwar couture, served as the perfect backdrop for this homage to elegance. The New Look, introduced in 1947, revolutionized fashion with its cinched waists and full skirts, becoming as iconic as the Eiffel Tower itself. Shot early in the morning before the tourists woke up, the images capture a quiet cinematic moment where fashion, history, and identity intersect.
