“Bubble” 1963 - Melvin Sokolsky

This iconic “Bubble” series was created by fashion photographer Melvin Sokolsky for the Harper’s Bazaar 1963 Spring Collection. The series, inspired by The Garden of Earthly Delights and Surrealism, depicts model Simone D’Aillencourt in large bubbles floating through the Paris cityscape. 

Since we are talking pre-Photoshop, the plexiglass bubbles had to be hung from a crane in various locations throughout the city.
