Capital chic in London, 1960 — Limited Edition Print

A model posing at a red stoplight is photographed in front of a passing London bus in 1960. Her knit hat and fur-lined coat foreshadow the unique style of what would become the Swinging Sixties: a youth-driven cultural revolution that took place in the United Kingdom, emphasizing modernity and fun-loving hedonism, with Swinging London as its center.

Sir Norman Parkinson (1913–1990) was a British portrait and fashion photographer whose four-decade career transformed the aesthetic of 20th-century magazine work. Shooting for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Town & Country, he took models out of the studio into landscapes, streets and factories — humanising fashion photography and paving the way for the modern editorial image.
