Melvin Sokolsky and Mark Seliger

Often looking to the surreal and fantastical, Melvin Sokolsky would play with proportion and perspective by incorporating miniature or blown up props into his fashion editorials. In 1963, Sokolsky photographed the model Iris Bianchi in series of images in which she is perched, seated on or climbing on top of an oversized chair for Harper’s Bazaar. 47 years later, Bazaar would feature a similar image in its pages, shot by Mark Seliger the photograph features a minuscule Demi Moore dressed in a Chanel dress and bolero set and seated on top of an equally large chair.
