Photographs of transgender women in Paris from the late 1950s and early 1960s were taken by Swedish photographer Christer Strömholm, who traveled to the city in the late-fifties in the hope of creating a new kind of night-life street photography.

Very polished, very striking. It's interesting to see styles of that era reflected in CD dress (of course) ... some of it along drag queen lines, some not. It's a piece of our lost history. Fabulous.

Interesting photos. Yes there are some that border on drag queen but for the most part they seem like they are simply to portray themselves as women of the time and place.
