Tina Barney on Growing Up with a Model Mother and Fashion

auto_awesomePixelfetch Take
Aperture publishes an essay on Tina Barney's mother, Lillian Fox, a Brooklyn-born model who appeared in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar in the late 1930s and 40s, photographed by Horst P. Horst and George Hoyningen-Huene. The piece traces how Fox's immersion in designed interiors and high-fashion visual culture shaped the domestic and social world Barney grew up in.
