Superstar model Marisa Berenson lounges on the floor of an all-white studio. Clad in a mauve lamé Indian tunic-and-pants set by Chanel, she manages to look exotic in the most mundane of locales. Berenson’s ability to transform herself into a number of characters became her legacy. Gianni Penati’s photograph appeared in the January 1, 1969, Vogue.
