Legendary Vogue photographer William Bell has passed away.
Dolores Hawkins, one of Ford's steller models, has announced the passing of fashion legend William Bell. He was Dolores' friend and one of her favorite photographers. William bell photographed one of the most memorable covers of American Vogue in 1959.

The whole effect is iconic and my personal favorite Vogue cover.

In the 60's London belonged to the young. All the old class structures of our parents’ generation were breaking down. All the old social mores were swept away. No one cared where you came from or what school you’d gone to, what accent you spoke with or how much money you had. All that mattered was what you could do, what you could create.

Mini Biography Stunning Swedish born ex-model who broke into film in 1970, and quickly appeared in several high profile films including playing the ex-wife of James Caan in the futuristic Rollerball (1975) and the ill-fated lover of super assassin "Scaramanga" played by Christopher Lee in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974).

In twenty or thirty years, there will be very few eye witnesses who can recall anything at all about this era. So here it is, for the record. Here are some, not all, of the great girls who made it to the top on looks, brains, talent and disciplined work habits.

Mary Quant and her fashion designs were profiled in this RARE copy of the August 1963 Elizabethan magazine, a publication of the Young Elizabethan Club. This organization was based in London, but its membership was made up of teenagers from around the world who were interested in the arts and sciences.
In this article targeted to teenagers, Mary Quant's styles were described as with-it, avant-garde, modern and hip:
hey there, I've seen this model in a few editorials during the late 70s (she disappeared in the early 80s) and was interested in finding out who she was. She mostly appeared in UK vogue so I'm assuming she's British. Cheers
