    “He situated models in haute couture dresses and stylized suits within the lively city. Readers could imagine themselves in the clothing, either waiting for a bus on Fifth Avenue or experiencing a flat tire on the way to a ball. Gordon understood the importance of beauty in everyday life. He recognized desire and found a way to express it in many forms.” - Deborah Willis, photographer, curator, educator and photography historian
