Jean Shrimpton - We'll take Manhatten


"Well take Manhatten" was a great documentary on television (in the UK) recently about Jean Shrimpton and David Bailey. It was about their lives and how they got to be so famous in the 1960's.
Jean Shrimpton is a famous model that was very big in the 60's she started modelling in her teens, and soon became one of the biggest models around.
David Bailey is one of the best photographers who changed the way that models were photographed and how fashion was portrayed in the big magazines.
Both are icons and are still very famous to this day. Jean was portrayed by Karen Gillian and David Bailey by Aneurin Barnard they both were great actors in the programme and I would definately reccomend watching it if you are interested in fashion and the 1960's!
I have take inspiration from the clothes shown and the hair and well, everything!
I would definantly like to wear things like this especially the green dress and jumper and skirt combo.
