Mary Russell's career in fashion journalism was launched in the 1950s by Diana Vreeland when the legendary editor recommended her for a job at Glamour, which eventually led Russell to open the magazine's Parisian outpost. At turns a model, journalist, and stylist for photographers like Helmut Newton, Lord Snowdon, David Bailey, and Steven Meisel, Russell rubbed shoulders and more with celebrities from film, music, fashion, and dance, who became her close friends. Her personal photographs, taken during private moments at work and at play, offer rare and privileged insight into the European cultural elite of the 1960s and 1970s.
