fashion photography and surrealism
toshiko okanoue's photo collages from the 1950s-1960s.
she made over 100 collages while studying fashion design.
then married and gave up her career.
taken from foam magazine
The collages aren't meant to be a magazine editorial, but if it were it would be an unpretentious one. There is a refreshing perspective that is untainted by the current commercial haberdashery. To each collage belongs some epic story that is terrifying or sweet.
I particularly like the giant naked woman being serenaded by a warehouse string quartet.

Wow, these are so surrealistic pictures.... They make me feel like I'm still in a dream, not sitting awake at my desk... Bizarre!
Thanks for showing them all, that's a very interesting post!
Have a nice weekend,
