“The Girl Who Went Out Into the Cold,” was the subject of a fifteen-page Vogue portfolio photographed by John Cowan at Resolute Bay on Cornwallis Island in the Arctic Circle in November 1964. The “girl” was actually two: models Jill Kennington and Antonia Bioeckesteyn, who editor Mary Kruming dressed—decades before Frozen—in silver and white eveningwear fit for a snow queen. Antonia, above, wears Georges Kaplan’s white ostrich feather coat, described by the magazine as “swinging, weightless, wildly spectacular,” with a Halston hat.
With temps reaching arctic levels in Manhattan, we sent a photographer out to document how the stylish girl on the street is coping with the sub-zero temps, where he discovered dressed-up, heavily accessorized looks for day (fur trapper hats, well-wrapped scarves), neon shearlings, and winter whites.
