Of Russian birth, Hoyningen Huené, initially worked as a sketch artist for the cinema and a dressmaking firm in Paris in the early 1920s. He collaborated with Man Ray on fashion work, and by 1926, he was the chief photographer for Vogue-France. From 1929 to 1935, he had already worked for Condé Nast and Harper's Bazar, establishing his name in fashion photography.
This is his scarce first book, which was issued in cloth and the less common wrappers issue.
