Michael Caine, Bowie and more: David Bailey’s iconic pin-ups – in pictures

 

Jean Shrimpton, Vogue, 1965

David Bailey’s Changing Fashion celebrates the transformational impact of Bailey’s photography in the 60s and 70s. His studio was the perfect expression of his restless intelligence. Alongside the usual photographic clutter, you’ll find tribal masks, oriental boxes and stuffed animals – including several parrots. The studio becomes a portal to a private world to which only Bailey has the key. David Bailey’s Changing Fashion is at The MOP Foundation, A Coruña, Spain, until 14 September. All photographs: David Bailey

His pared-down, graphically direct photographs brilliantly caught the brittle glamour of the 60s

Jean Shrimpton, Vogue, New York, 1962

In 1962, Bailey persuaded Vogue to let him take his first great muse, Jean Shrimpton, to New York for his first foreign assignment. The impact of the images they made there, crackling with life and attitude, was extraordinary. As Marit Allen, the editor of Vogue’s Young Idea section at the time, says: ‘Jean and Bailey in New York broke the ground for fashion as it was from them on. They turned the world upside down’
