Mark Shaw's Elegant Ladies

Model smoking in a black dress in the 17th century house where Manon Lescaut once lived, then owned by Suzanne Luling, directrice of Dior in Paris, 1950s.

It takes a lot to distract me from haute couture, but this home is pretty much the epitome of Parisian glamour. Every detail is so exquisite yet there is no stuffiness to the rooms filled with priceless antiques- Suzanne Luling must have had perfect taste to create such casualness from such luxury.
