One of the most memorable fashion magazine issues of the
1960s was the
April 1965 Bazaar.
Richard Avedon was celebrating
20 years with
Bazaar and was the
Guest Editor and
sole photographer.
Jean Shrimpton was the cover girl and appeared on many of the editorial pages:
Donyale Luna was also featured in two fashion layouts:
Luna in Galanos and
Kinetic Threads:

In the
December 2009 Vanity Fair magazine, this iconic issue is featured in the article
The Now of Avedon by
David Michaelis:
The Now of Avedon
When photographer Richard Avedon edited a special issue of Harper’s Bazaar, in April 1965, it wasn’t simply fashion—it was the future. Recalling Avedon’s prophetic mix of Space Age, multi-racial youthquake symbols (the Beatles! the Astronettes! Jean Shrimpton!), David Michaelis tells how America’s national portraitist rejuvenated his career.http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2009/12/contents-200912
