Odalisque. Garden Fashions. Circa 1968. Ferrotyped gelatin silver print, printed later. 20,5 x 25,2 cm. Typed press text label and agency stamp on the verso.

Beaton brought a theatrical sensibility to fashion photography, treating clothing, setting and pose as elements of a carefully constructed image. Drawing on his work for stage and film, his Vogue photographs combine decorative invention with a refined portrait sensibility.Here, the odalisque motif is placed in a garden setting, turning a fashion study into a scene of cultivated fantasy. The image typifies Beaton's elegant fusion of fashion, performance and artifice.
