The shadow walk, stops models looking at their faces. Instead of mirrors
The shadow walk, stops models looking at their faces. Instead of mirrors, in which girls can look at their deportment, and which cause girls to look more at their faces, a candle shadow walk is the idea to give them the only correct way of showing dresses or gowns. Pictured, Maisie Gilbert, a 25 year old model, who is an instructress to models in how to walk by candlelight. 15th January 1954

In this print titled "The Shadow Walk" we are transported back to the glamorous world of fashion in the 1950s. The image captures Maisie Gilbert, a renowned 25-year-old model and instructress, demonstrating the art of walking by candlelight. Unlike traditional mirrors that often distract models with their reflections, this innovative concept replaces them with a mesmerizing candle shadow walk. By eliminating the temptation to focus on their faces, models can fully concentrate on showcasing dresses or gowns in the most elegant manner possible. Maisie's poised silhouette is beautifully outlined against the studio backdrop as she gracefully turns and walks. The play of shadows adds an enchanting touch to her every movement, emphasizing her impeccable deportment and enhancing the allure of each garment she presents.
