Photo of the Day: Valentina

Photobucket
Valentina Schlee, the American couturier, 1928.

One of my favourite things about my job is that I get to sort through and scan original photographs, notebooks and sketches like this one that I scanned yesterday. The look and feel of the paper, the faded handwritten notes on the back- research doesn't get much better...

    Wow. What a great way to use white lace . . . is this Valentina the designer, by any chance?

    I've been wondering what exactly your job entails but I would love to spend my days scanning incredible old fashion photography. We could swap professions if you'd like? Haha

    I don't think we can swap as I'm awful at languages!
