Brigitte Dior 1960s AI upscaled enhanced and colourised

A different approach on this image. The original is on the left (180 by 540 pixels). Using an open source AI enhancer and upscaler (called Upscayl www.upscayl.org/) the original image was upscaled by 3 times and cleaned up into a crisp greyscale image which I then colourised (on the right 540 by 1620 pixels). The results are quite amazing bringing this image back to life. AI has enlarged and cleaned the image which enabled me to add colourisation to a beautifully clean image. I'm particularly impressed how her Cuban heel stockings have been brought back to life. What do you think?

The model here is Brigitte Dior a female impersonator from the late 1960s. My research indicates that she at least worked at Club 82 in New York City but unfortunately there is little else to go by although it seems she did go by the name "Brigette D'Or", which would make far more sense for this golden girl. As always, if anyone has further information I would welcome it.

Disclaimer: The digital enhancements to the original are all my own work, plus (in this case) use of AI enhancement. Any such unauthorised use (without prior permission) for that aspect of the work will be considered a violation of my partial copyright. Where the original item is shown, it is done so purely for comparative purposes only.
