“Tall, slim, a long neck, a shining lock of hair caressing her mouth. I see the reflection of Renee’s beauty in women’s eyes and men’s glances…Beside her, other women look like farm girls.”
– Lartigue’s Diary: Paris, March 10, 1930
Muse & girlfriend to photographer, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Renee Perle was a Romanian model living in Paris in the late 1920s, early 1930s with the quintessential jazz age look- lean, mysterious, smouldering and arrestingly gorgeous. I particularly love how she sports the simplest of garments (a t-shirt, a tank top!) and elevates them entirely. I also love her arm laden with thin bangles, gonna have to try that...
