U.S.A. 1967

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity

Fashion designer and aristocrat Hubert de Givenchy, technically Count Hubert James Marcel Taffin de Givenchy, prepares his models for an upcoming show on October 30, 1967. After designing for Pierre Balmain, Christian Dior, and the avant-garde designer Elsa Schiaparelli, he created his own fashion house in 1952 and would go on to become one of the most famous, and most copied, couturier in history.

Born in 1928, Jack Robinson grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, attended Tulane University, and pursued photography as a hobby in New Orleans. His early street portraits captured New Orleans' rich culture.

In 1955, he moved to New York, becoming a renowned freelance fashion photographer, even gracing the cover of Life Magazine within four years. In 1965, he joined Vogue Magazine and impressed Diana Vreeland with his portrait work. Jack completed numerous assignments for Vogue over seven years. In 1972, he returned to Memphis to care for his parents, ending his photography career. Later, he excelled in stained glass design.

When he passed away from cancer in 1997, his extensive photographic legacy was discovered, leading to The Jack Robinson Archive and The Robinson Gallery, fulfilling his posthumous wish to preserve his work.
