View images related to the exhibition "The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion," on view at the Met May 6 through August 9, 2009: http://www.metmuseum.org/special/model_muse/embodying_images.asp

Exploring the reciprocal relationship between high fashion and evolving ideals of beauty, "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" focuses on iconic models of the twentieth century and their roles in projecting, and sometimes inspiring, the fashion of their respective eras. The exhibition, organized by historical period from 1947 to 1997, will feature haute couture and ready-to-wear masterworks accompanied by fashion photography and video footage of models who epitomized their epochs.

  • At 3:00 the picture at the end of the wall on the right, the woman with dark hair and bangs, can anyone tell me who that is?

  • The woman is Jean Shrimpton.

    The gallery label reads:

    David Bailey (British, b. 1938)

    Jean Shrimpton, from David Bailey, Box of Pin-ups (London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1965)

    Photographic print

  • Excellent content, but the narration is recorded at a low level, and the thick accent makes it nearly impossible to understand. Any chance of sub-titling the feature?
