Countesses Jacqueline de Ribes, the ultra chic French aristocrat, designer, fashion icon and philanthropist. Who has been a member of the International Best Dressed List since 1962? She probably designed what she is wearing here in the picture since she was popular for her hand-painted silk togas for years. Her first fashion show was held in the home of Yves Saint Laurent. And most recently The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City had a solo show for her in 2015 called: "The Art of Style", an exhibition featuring items from de Ribes's wardrobe. It featured ensembles of haute couture and ready-to-wear primarily from her personal archive, dating from 1959 to the present. The “Around That Time, portfolios are literally a time capsule of style and design from the 1960s-1980s. The images chosen for this portfolio are a who’s who of the tastemakers and influencers from one of the most exciting and innovative periods of the twentieth century. Never before was there a moment quite like this, and never before or since has there been a photographer of such unique talent as Horst P. Horst.”

Horst P. Horst German-American, 1906-1999 (born Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann) was one of the towering figures of 20th-century fashion photography. Best known for his work with Vogue—who called him “photography’s alchemist”—Horst rose to prominence in Paris in the interwar years, publishing his first work with the magazine in 1931. In the decades that followed, Horst’s experimentations with radical composition, nudity, double exposures, and other avant-garde techniques would produce some of the most iconic fashion images ever, like Mainbocher Corset and Lisa with Harp (both 1939). As The New York Times once described, “Horst tamed the avant-garde to serve fashion.” Though associated most closely with fashion photography, Horst captured portraits of many of the 20th century’s brightest luminaries, dabbling with influences as far-ranging as Surrealism and Romanticism. “I like taking photographs because I like life,” he once said. “And I love photographing people best of all because most of all I love humanity.”
