Triplets PARIS COLLECTIONS Norman Parkinson QUEEN MAGAZINE 26 Feb 1964

This rare issue of 'Queen', a fashion magazine published in Britain from the 19th century and which later merged with Harper's Bazaar in the 1970's.

The Dee Triplets feature on the cover, photographed by Norman Parkinson.  Parkinson worked for Vogue from the 1940's and during the 1960's he became the Associate Editor of Queen for a few years. 

Parkinson whisked the sisters from school in New York to France and photographed the Paris Collectons on the American triplets.

Katha, Megan and Christine Dee wear haute couture by CHANEL, CHRISTIAN DIOR, JACQUES HEIM, LANVIN, NINA RICCI and more French designs, including the iconic peasant skirts by Yves Saint Laurent.  15 pages in glorious colour.  Queen has triplets in Paris.

Tom Wolsey was the art director for this issue.

Rare vintage issue dated 26th February, 1964.

Editor Jocelyn Steven bought the magazine in 1958 and shifted the format, content and readership to turn Queen into one of the most iconic publications of its time. Working with Beatrix Miller, Norman Parkinson and later Helmut Newton, Queen became a definitive bible for all things 60s.

As with all issues of Queen, this issue includes the usual digest of UK and international culture, film, music, theatre and high society gossip. An absolutely must have issue for 60s fashion and culture fans!
