This film made a huge impact back in the 50's as it allowed high quality photographs to be taken near enough anywhere, it opened up the doors for the fashion industry and let in influence from the photojournalists that had been photographing outside long before. Magnum photographers took up photographing fashion as well as photojournalism and became a main player in how that influenced fashion photography and even the fashion industry itself.
