The one w/ the first Master's Degree in #music: NORA HOLT #greatWoman #FashionPhotography by CARL VAN VECHTEN ・・・ Play acting a telephone call for #carlvanvechten's camera in 1941, singer,composer, music critic #NoraHolt combines demure and ladylike with luxurious and flamboyant. Her ensemble balances these elements - baby pink skirt suit, soft ruffled blouse and flower strewn hat - garnished with crystal buttons, bold gold jewellery, shiny red nails and blonded hair. She embodies her public and private self - an independent woman who had a long and varied career, while balancing such achievements with marriages, parties and notoriety. #1940sfashion #vintagefashion #dresshistory #fashionhistory #fashionstudies @beineckelibrary • • • #Repost @documentingfashion_courtauld with @repostapp
