PARIS 1965
JEAN SHRIMPTON
Born in 1942, and internationally famous by the age of eighteen, Shrimpton was an icon of London’s ‘Swinging Sixties’ and one of the fashion world's first supermodels. She was dubbed the ‘It Girl’ and ‘The Face’, landing the covers and major fashion spreads of all of the top international fashion magazines. Her relationship with rising star fashion photographer David Bailey created international fame for both of them in their respective careers with Shrimpton being Bailey’s muse and his photographs of her promoting him to the top echelon of fashion photographers. Their affair lasted four years and will soon be featured in a biopic on Bailey with Karen Gillan playing Shrimpton.
