'John French, (1907-1966) one of London's top fashion photographers during the 1950s and early 1960s, was once described as "the man who brought a new glamour to fashion photography". Best known for his impeccably lit, stylish photographs of top models, which featured regularly in the national press, perhaps his most important achievement was to revolutionize newspaper coverage of fashion. Over 100 photographs are gathered here to illustrate his contribution to fashion photography and chart the changes in fashionable dress between 1948 and 1965.

Roy Strong, Snowdon, Vere French, Davie Bailey, Terence Donovan, Charles Fielder, Brigid Keenan and Tania Radcliffe give vivid descriptions of John French's work and explain his role in the world of fashion photography.' 

This is the only book on John French and was published to coincide with an exhibition of his work at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The exhibition was based upon French's archive, which had been donated to the V&A by his widow, Vere French. The catalogue includes a chronology, recollections by those who worked with him, a bibliography and a collection of French's photographs. The photographs reflect the understated elegance and glamour of the New Look and feature clothes designed in both London and Paris. Designers featured include Barbara Goalen, Dior, Jacques Fath, Anne Gunning, Hardy Amies, Norman Hartnell, Nina Ricci, John Cavanagh, Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent, Mary Quant, Madame Paulette, Barbara Hulanicki and Andre Courreges.

Cheap, and durable!
I bought this toy as a cheap temporary toy for my Rough Collie. Well, a month or so later, it's still alive. She has performed a 'squeakerectomy' on it, and it's lost it's springiness, but she still loves it.

Love the Stretch
I have two 15 ish pound dogs that love to pull and tug on this toy...all day long, every day. It's long enough for the humans in the house to also grab an end and not worry about getting nipped by playful pups. The fact that it stretches seems to be even more fun for the dogs. We have several other similar unstuffed long toys but they get very little attention. This toy is definitely unique and a cut above the other similar toys. The stretch seems to make all of the difference. If they had more animal choices, I would buy them all.

Fly fishing dog in training
This thing is so dang cute! It’s proven to be durable for my small dog, too. He drags it all around inside and outside and it’s no worse for the west.

Lovely Salmon
Our dog LOVES this toy. She loves it so intensely we had to purchase a second salmon. She is a (smaller) medium sized dog and it took her about a year to even half tear a fin. This brand is our favorite and we are slowly collecting every toy they make.
