John Rawlings and the 1940s

I am just loving John Rawlings photography of the 1940s and 50s. There are magnificant, rich, feminine turbans everywhere! There seem to be a few shoots that he did in 1941other than the onees with turbans, which encapture Heidi and I's designer and artist inspiration and love for "candy spew" tones, lace, femininity, florals, 18th & 19th century soft, delicate, pucketed, rich fashions. A few bonnets here too!

Here are some I adore of some stunning turbans:

These pictures are inspiration to me as colour concepts and the kind of aesthetic that is inspiring me in relation to Heidi's work:
