Iconic 1960s Model Jean Shrimpton in New York by David Bailey (1962)
Jean Shrimpton’s (1942) was a fashion model and icon of Swinging London. Her career rose to prominence through her work with photographer David Bailey.
Of Jean Shrimpton, Bailey said:
She was magic and the camera loved her too. In a way she was the cheapest model in the world – you only needed to shoot half a roll of film and then you had it. She had the knack of having her hand in the right place, she knew where the light was, she was just a natural.
Shrimpton’s first photo session with Bailey was in 1960 (either for Condé Nast’s Brides on 7 December 1960 or for British Vogue). She started to become known in the modelling world around the time she was working with Bailey.
Shrimpton has stated she owed Bailey her career, and he is often credited for discovering her and being influential in her career.
In turn, she was Bailey’s muse, and his photographs of her helped him rise to prominence in his early career.

Stylish Bettina In Fath: Photos by Willy Maywald (1950s)
German photographer Wilhelm (Willy) Maywald (1907 – 1985) photographed for various fashion designers and his images were recognized internationally.
Maywald was known for photographing in unique scenes. He was one of the first fashion photographers to photograph his subjects in the streets of Paris. He had a way of photographing his subjects in these various places but the image still focused on the model/clothing. Although Maywald was the main photographer for Dior, he also photographed for several other fashion designers at the time, such as Jacques Fath.

1950s Supermodel Bettina in Jacques Fath
Simone Micheline Bodin (1925-2015), known professionally as Bettina or Bettina Graziani, became one of the century’s first supermodels, rivalled in the forties only by the “English beauty” Barbara Goalen. Before becoming a model she was described as:
“…a freckle-faced rail worker’s daughter from Brittany”
She was renamed and recreated by Jacques Fath, who told her:
“We already have a Simone; you look to me like a Bettina”
Bettina was invited by Christian Dior to join his fashion house which she refused, choosing instead to work for Fath.
