It’s
August 1965, and photographer (and renowned womaniser) David Bailey has just
tied the knot with the French actress, Catherine Deneuve. In a drop-top
Rolls-Royce, the couple cruises through London – the culmination of the
‘Swinging Sixties’…
As the
chronicler of the Swinging Sixties, David Bailey played an essential part in
the creative scene, famously documenting the stars of the time, including the
Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Vogue magazine alone printed hundreds of his
fashion photographs over the years – the magazine’s then-US Creative Director
Grace Koddington later reported, “It was the sixties, a wild time, and David
Bailey was devastatingly handsome. Every woman wanted to stand in front of his
camera.”
One of the
ladies in Bailey’s focus was the young French actress Catherine Deneuve, who
had risen to fame thanks to a role in Roman Polanski’s 1965 flick, ‘Repulsion’.
On 19 August, the glamorous pair married in London but Bailey, known as the
‘eternal bachelor’, would be eligible again by 1972.
