        "description": "The evening dress seen here was by Elsa Schiaparelli, one of the most prominent Parisian clothing designers between the World Wars. The two women met in fall 1933 and worked together through 1934. Both strong-minded, successful women, they also shared affinities for Surrealism and fantasy. In both views of the dress, Bing emphasizes the silhouette of the puffs at the shoulder, which were a hallmark of Schiaparelli\u2019s fall 1933 collection, and the glistening, sleek fabric.",

Around 1927-28 she began taking photographs to illustrate her dissertation and in 1930 decided to move to Paris to look for freelance assignments. Using the new 35mm Leica camera, she worked as a fashion, portrait, and architectural photographer, as well as a photojournalist. During her years in Paris she took part in numerous exhibitions, including the Museum of Modern Art's Photography 1839-1937 show in New York. In 1941 Bing and her husband immigrated to the United States, settling in New York City. In New York she began to work on a different scale, using the larger-format Rolleiflex camera as well as electronic flash. By 1957 she was working exclusively in color. Two years later Bing gave up photography to concentrate on painting and poetry.",
