All photos by Erica Lennard from her book Les Femmes Les Soeurs, which was published in 1976. An American, she settled in Paris in the early 70s, doing art photography and taking photos of her friends, such as these ones. The publication of Les Femmes Les Soeurs led to more fashion and beauty work for magazines and advertisements, but for the last twenty years she has been primarily focused on photographing gardens and interiors. All of the photos in this book have a raw yet dreamlike feel, which show why she was able to translate her message so well into fashion.
