Another stunning photograph by Ms. Arbus of an attractive young woman in a lovely dress. The fallen strap is so obviously what makes this a Diane Arbus photo. It makes the girl look uncouth, common, out-of-place, and slightly sad. That single thread of cloth transformed an average picture into an extraordinary one.
