Evening dress by Norman Norrell

Evening dress by Norman Norrell photographed by Norman Parkinson

1963. A colour variant of this image appears in the 14 August issue of Queen magazine. The caption reads:

Red evening dress from (Norman) Norell’s new collection, just shown in New York – smooth and slinky with a kick at the hem, the kind of dress for which he is famous. … Prices range from about $3000 for an evening dress like this one… He was reported in ‘Women’s Wear Daily’ as saying that the whole of his new collection took shape while he was sketching over a meal at Hamburger Heaven.’
