Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
David Bailey wanted to play jazz, like his hero Chet Baker, but his trumpet was stolen when he was 19. He bought a Rolleiflex camera, by which happy accident he became a finger on the handful of photographers who have defined their age. And you don’t have to guess which finger: the “up yours” of his most iconic images nailed a time and place like no one has since. But an exhibition opening at Spain’s MOP Foundation at the end of June aims to prove that Bailey’s claim on posterity rests on more than his portraits from Sixties London.
