Sixties Models
They defined the style and epitomised the look of the decade. Sue MacGregor plays host to a gathering of the original 1960βs super models.
Icons of their age, the likes of Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Anoushka Hempel and Joanna Lumley turned heads wherever they went and were invited to all the great gatherings of the period mixing with members of the aristocracy as well as the stars of the rock and fashion world.
From the opening of Biba to now famous Vogue shoots, the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park, and endless parties on the Kings Road, they will be recalling those heady days and reflecting on where they have travelled since.
Sue is joined in the studio by Celia Hammond, who was Terence Donovanβs favourite; Jill Kennington famously did photo shoots at the North Pole, Edina Ronay, dubbed the British βBrigitte Bardotβ posed for both David Bailey and Donovan, and the self-styled six foot uber-vixen Verushka stole the film in that wonderful period piece βBlow Upβ. Joining them is the woman who put them all on the front cover on many occasions Marit Allen, then the pioneering Fashion Editor of Vogueβs Young Ideas.
Produced by Kate Taylor and David Prest.
