The Christmas List
David Bailey: NY JS DB 62 (Hardcover) by David Bailey(Photographer)
In January 1962, still in his early twenties, photographer David Bailey headed to the U.S for his first foreign trip for Vogue, accompanied by his model girlfriend, Jean Shrimpton. The impact of the couple’s early collaborations set new standards –though at the time, his aesthetic was so controversial that, as a representative of the magazine, Vogue asked him not to wear his leather jacket in the St Regis Hotel. (Of course he ignored the advice.) The groundbreaking series that Bailey produced with his recently acquired 35mm camera was special. Newly freed from the confines of the studio, he shot rapidly on the streets and recorded the pioneer moment just before meeting Andy Warhol, and a year before his friends the Rolling Stones launched their own transatlantic invasion. Groovy baby!
