On July 5, 1925, Garbo arrived in New York. In the first weeks, MGM didn't show much interest in Garbo and Stiller, since they arrived in America. It seemed that Greta was extremely concerned about her status at MGM. Before going to Hollywood, Garbo modeled elegant coats for Weingarten, a New York department store. From July to August, Garbo did this modeling job, for coats. She made those photos for an unidentified photographer. The half a dozen prints that ended up in the MGM publicity files show a smiling model seemingly having a good time; perhaps the luxurious furs appealed to her.
