A Town & Country MustRead Book of Spring 2024Fashion, photography, and pop culture aficionados will be captivated (Publishers Weekly, starred review) by this riveting dual biography of the McLaughlinsidentical twin sisters who became groundbreaking magazine photographers in New York during the glamorous golden age of the 1930s and 40s. In Double Click, author Carol Kino has interwoven a biography of the McLaughlins with an authoritative, detailed history of fashion, the art world and photography in midcentury New York (The Wall Street Journal).The McLaughlin twins were trailblazing female photographers, celebrated in their time as stars in their respective fields, but have largely been forgotten since. Here, in Double Click, Carol Kino brings these two brilliant women and their remarkable accomplishments to vivid life.Frances was the only female photographer on staff in Cond Nasts photo studio, hired just after Irving Penn, and became known for streetwise, cinema veritstyle work, which appeared in the pages of Glamour and Vogue. Her sister Kathryns surrealistic portraits filled the eras new career girl magazines, including Charm and Mademoiselle. Both twins married Harpers Bazaar photographers and socialized with a glittering crowd that included the supermodel Lisa Fonssagrives and the photographer Richard Avedon. Kino uses their careers to illuminate the lives of young women during this time, an early 20thcentury moment marked by protofeminist thinking, excitement about photographys burgeoning creative potential, and the ferment of wartime New York. Toward the end of the 1940s, and moving into the early 1950s, conventionality took over, women were pushed back into the home, and the window of opportunity began to close. Kino renders this fleeting moment of possibility in gleaming multicolor, so that the reader cherishes its abundance, mourns its passing, and gains new appreciation for the talent that was fostered at its peak.Pulling back the curtain on an electric, creative time in New Yorks history, and rich with original research, Double Click is cultural reportage and biography at its finest.
