London Life - Fashion pages by Jean Shrimpton, 1965

Spread from the short-lived but impossibly cool magazine, London Life, with a column by sixties supermodel Jean Shrimpton who regularly wrote about the clothes she liked. This week, for the first issue, shoes including some Gucci two tone pumps (top right) and some Scholl sandals drawn by Barney Wan. Seems Jean has just had to do a bit of shopping and not much writing!
