There are a few women in history that I am utterly obsessed with, Maila Nurmi is one of them. Her extremes were phenomenal for her time, going from a cheesecakey pinup in the late 40's to a shaved head in 1955. She was just stunning.
Here are some modern designer gowns that remind me of her most well know and iconic character, Vampira!
Cushnie et Ochs One-Shoulder Gown , Donna Karan Long-sleeve Jersey Gown , Gianfranco Ferre Asymmetric Metallic-Panel Gown , Donna Karan Element Side Long-sleeve Jersey Gown , Alexander McQueen Wool-crepe Gown , David Meister Jersey Jeweled-Waist Gown
