Artifice and exaggeration always served him well...

Post-World War II, Beaton mastered colour photography techniques, and his fashion photography for Vogue was the first to benefit.

Worldly Colour is his 1948 conversation piece of several models in jewel-coloured Charles James dresses, set in the wood-panelled salon of a Manhattan antiques company. The group portrait remains his most vivid, elegant and best-known post-war fashion photograph. It’s the embodiment of ‘New Look’ elegance and sophistication, and is rather fabulous.
