First modelling shoot by Anthony Norris, 1962

 

Boyd’s archive features photographs from her early career,

from Vogue to Vanity Fair, and marks fashion’s major shift

from black and white postwar demure

to wide-eyed, mini-skirted psychedelia,

with Boyd’s place at the heart of 60s culture.

 

‘It was like a zeitgeist,

we were no longer twin sets and pearls;

we were forging ahead, going through the tunnel

knowing there’s something at the other end’

 

George, Eric and me:

Pattie Boyd on her favourite images – in pictures

Featuring pictures of – and taken by –

George Harrison and Eric Clapton,

Pattie Boyd talks us through her new photo book of music

and fashion images

Quorum mini dress, 1966

Boyd details her extraordinary modelling career

and life in London as the city experienced a cultural revolution:

‘I knew there was something in the air ...

designers like Mary Quant and Ossie Clark came along.

 

Photographers and filmmakers were splashing ahead,

artists like David Hockney were doing great things.

 

We inspired them and they inspired us,

it was a coming together of very creative people’

relaxed its attitude to gender?
