TINY, TIDY HEADS 1958

A HEAD LIKE THE BUD OF A ROSE ON ITS STEM

Compressed and perfect ...

Tiny Tiny Heads: The Coiffures

"This season, the most beautiful shapliness to have is that of a well-shaped head. The dandelion has blown out of the fashion and the rage for raggle-taggle hair, however well-planned or well-kept, is becalmed.

THE TIDY LOOK OF A SMOOTH CAP

The thing is a civilized study of the head - a study as close to phrenology as flattery will allow. It's a style both enchanting and demanding. Demanding marvelous carriage, a pride of throat and shoulders, and an ever-present awareness of profile and back-view.

THE TINY, TIDY HEAD

All that will be seen is perfection of line, sleekness and shine. This demands total control - a place for every hair and every hair in place.

Tiny Tidy Heads: The hats

Christian Dior - New York

Irene of New York turban. Narrow panels of golden-flowered white silk brocade fasten high at either side with a bow. Dinner dress by Mollie Parnis.

Mr. John dinner hat. Civet cat striations stenciled on lapin line a wool coat dropping two-thirds the length of the matching empire dress that falls from a bodice no wider than a yoke-band. By Monte-Sano and Pruzan.

Bands of pale beige fitch inside the square-cut jacket of a sleek satin dinner suit by Trigere.

BERT STERN - SOPHIA LOREN 1963

"Once in a great while, at some precise moment in time, a great beauty and a great fashion come together - and the impact is historic. Such a fateful meeting is shown here."

Through the adoring lens of photographer Bert Stern in the October issue of Vogue magazine, the Italian actress, one of the world's great beauties of the time rests in Russian Crown sable by the furrier, Ritter Brothers.
