Pure silk pierrot suit by Jane Cattlin.
Photographed at Simpson Jermyn Street.
Scanned from Cosmopolitan, October 1978.
Hauntingly beautiful. I can never, ever resist a photoshoot inspired by clowns. (Indeed, Mr Wedge seems to have made them something of a trademark!) That make-up, that neck ruff…
Scanned from Painted Ladies: Art of Hand Colouring in Photography by James Wedge.
My new favourite photo. I love Claudette anyway, and here she’s reigniting my desire to dress up like a Pierrot.
She’s sailing a bit close to the wind though. You can almost see the right side of her face….that will never do!
