Jean Shrimpton in Versailles photographed by David Bailey in 1962 - containing one of our favourite ever fashion images; the pleated Jules Crahay organza dress by Nina Ricci and the Versailles vista.
This is a wonderful early issue of the Sunday Times Sunday magazine with Bailey shooting The Shrimp in The Paris collections throughout the French palace of Versailles. Jean wears the latest designs by Dior, Lanvin and Balmain over 4 glorious pages.
In other images the model wears shocking pink tweed full circle skirt and double breasted jacket by Crahay for Ricci.
By Fashion Editor Brigid Keenan: "Our biggest job together was Bailey’s first coverage of the Paris collections for the Sunday Times colour supplement (it was not called a magazine for fear of upsetting “real” magazine unions). Jean, Bailey and I found ourselves in the gardens of Versailles early one freezing January morning photographing my boss Ernestine Carter’s choice of clothes from the collections. Jean had to change into the various elaborate couture outfits behind a bush and was blue with cold. The day before, Bailey’s camera had broken and he’d had to borrow one from another photographer. It was stressful, but when the pictures appeared in the magazine you wouldn’t have known there’d been a moment’s difficulty."

This is a very rare early Sunday Times supplement. They are extremely rare as they were only published for one day.
Very good condition for its age. You can see some light marks on the cover, the photograph is of the actual magazine. Inside is flat and tight.
