Salvador Dalì costume design on the Roxy Theatre rooftop. New York
City, USA, 1953.
“In 1953, Salvador Dalì entered a costume design contest and asked
Philippe Halsman to photograph his creation. The dress was so
voluminous it could not be photographed in the studio. Halsman tried to
shoot in the street, but even the street was too narrow. Finally, Halsman
decided to take the entire ensemble, including assistants and a LIFE
magazine researcher, to the rooftop of the Roxy Theatre.
“The model Toni Hollingsworth wears the dress Dalì designed, and
Halsman’s younger daughter Jane, dressed in black, holds up the
spectacular headpiece.
“The Roxy Theatre, a lavish and innovative movie palace, opened in 1927
and was demolished in 1960.”
— Jennifer Bello Roberts, Philippe Halsman’s granddaughter
