Cecil Beaton, Photographer and Costume Designer

 

'Sir' Cecil Beaton was born in England in 1904. He got his first camera when he was a boy aged 11, and started to photograph for VOGUE magazine in 1920. He photographed for different purposes, the fashion, the portraits and the journalism on war. He photographed the Movie stars, the Royals, the Aristocracy. His great and plural aesthetic sense also led him to the Movies Costume Design, and he was in charge for the stunning costumes of the musical "My Fair Lady" (1964), for example. 


The result of his work on Marilyn Monroe was actually natural. The capture of her bright eyes and the idea of adding a bird and a daisy at a simple scenery let the picture unique.
