Donyale Luna, as she calls herself, is unquestionably the hottest model in Europe at the moment. She is only 20, a Negro, hails from Detroit, and is not to be missed if one reads Harper's Bazaar, Paris Match, Britain's Queen, the British, French or American editions of Vogue. "She happens to be a marvelous shape," says Beatrix Miller of British Vogue. "All sort of angular and immensely tall and strange. She has a kind of bite and personality...
From anthropology, Castro-Cid moved on to anatomy. Arriving in Manhattan with his wife, Harper's Bazaar Cover Model Sylvia, he spent hours peering into musty display cases in Manhattan's American Museum of Natural History. Says he: "My paintings grew to be surrealist abstractions with the hint of skeletal joints expressing patterns of growth." To add motion to them, he made toylike, motor-driven robots.

No, scream a growing gaggle of fashion designers, who claim their clothes are being downgraded to mere props for far-out photography. Nonsense, answer annoyed photographers and editors...
Fashion editors seem disinclined to take such sniping seriously. "The whole argument is absurd," shrugs Harper's Bazaar Fashion Director Gwen Randolph. "Sure, we get lots of complaints from designers, but we get lots of compliments too. Some complaints come from designers who are older and not with it. Actually, fashion photography today, insofar as photographers take clothes and try to exaggerate, enhance and dramatize, is no different than it was 25 years ago. The whole to-do is a lot of baloney...
