At the time that this photograph was taken, Henry Talbot was in Paris on an assignment for the International Wool Secretariat. Talbot photographed the Australian model Penny Pardey (later Penny Campbell-Bruce) whom he knew and met up with while in Paris. Pardey and her friend Judy O'Connell had both been picked up by Pierre Cardin during one of his trips to Australia, and invited to work as house models in the hosue of Cardin in Paris. Pardey recalls that the mini-shift she wears was one which all Cardin house models were given to wear when they weren't actually busy modelling.
