Published by MOP books to accompany the exhibition David Bailey’s Changing Fashion this book is a reminder that Bailey is a master of a visual language that is uniquely his own.
The 176 featured images trace the arc of Bailey’s extraordinary career from his beginnings in London’s East End to his late career portraits.
However its main focus is on the 1960s and 1970s - two decades of exemplary image making when Bailey rewrote the rules and changed fashion photography for ever.
In so doing he caught the brittle glamour of the times, empowered a generation and put a smile on the face of a world still recovering from the ravages of war.
