British model Jean Shrimpton, 18, was shot by her then partner David Bailey for a fashion spread for British Vogue in 1962. They travelled with no hair or makeup artist, and were instructed to shoot mid-priced British fashions against the cityscape. Instead, Bailey and Shrimpton, armed with just a camera and an old teddy bear, prowled Manhattan’s grittier side, and morphed raw street photography with fashion and high art.

Photographer Deborah Turbeville’s editorial were taken in Paris’s Hotel Lutetia Bathhouse. Deborah Turbeville has been described as the anti-Helmut Newton. Where Newton’s pictures are vital with physicality and sexual power, Turbeville’s are studies in immobility, surreal works shot as though through misted glass. This image appeared Vogue, January 1975.

Under Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, Henry Clarke broke the mold of Fifties-era, black and white propriety with powerfully alive images like this iconic photograph of Veruschka from the January 1, 1965, Vogue. The famed model wears a kaleidoscopic, hooded Emilio Pucci caftan on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania.

Well documented story…In June 1962, Bert Stern traveled from New York to Los Angeles to photograph Marilyn Monroe for Vogue. By this point, Stern had become one of the most sought-after American photographers, in league with Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. Eschewing a studio for a grand suite at the Bel-Air Hotel, Stern captured Monroe in black gowns and chinchilla furs, before sequestering the shoot into a separate bedroom. With Stern on pills and Monroe in the nude, it was the negatives from this meeting that Stern mailed to Monroe for review (an unorthodox request, but this was, after all, Marilyn Monroe). She sent them back with many images crossed out in permanent orange marker. Six weeks later, Monroe died, and the pictures, with the now-famous orange Xs, became known as the Last Sitting.
