LONDON LIFE: The Magazine of the Swinging Sixties

Order Here:-https://www.bibliophilebooks.com/epag... London Life hit the newsstands in 1965, achieved a glittering reputation as the essence of cool, and collapsed in December of the following year amid walk-outs and recriminations. But every week for a glorious 15 months it epitomized the sixties. Started by Mark Boxer and David Puttnam, in its heyday it featured the legendary elegance of Jean Shrimpton not only as model but also as guest editor. There were contributions from Mary Quant, cartoons by Boxer and Gerald Scarfe, and features on Vidal Sassoon, Paul McCartney, Diana Rigg, Sophia Loren and other legends of the era. A photo feature on "people who are dating" includes Dudley Moore and Suzy Kendall, Michael Caine and Elizabeth Ercy, Cilla Black with her road manager Bob Willis, who later married, and a grainy snap of Brian Jones and Anita Pallenberg at the premiere of the film Alfie. An interview with Honor Blackman, already famous for her leather-clad role in The Avengers, emphasizes her East End roots, Margot Fonteyn is pictured with Claire Bloom at an upmarket reception, and at a Joe Tillson exhibition David Hockney is captured chatting with Bridget Riley. Mick Jagger, denounced as a scruffy monster by "retired sergeant majors and maiden ladies of both sexes", shrewdly ascribes the Stones' success to their development from R&B roots. Raquel Welch is pictured running around in an animal-skin bikini and Brigitte Bardot walks barefoot through Bayswater. An interesting article looks at photographer Cecil Beaton's oil paintings, including a fine portrait of cult actor David Warner. The quintessential face of the sixties was Julie Christie, who appears on the cover and is also pictured cooking at home. They say that if you can remember the sixties you weren't there, but this gorgeous book brings it all back. No page numbers, but there are about 180, all with facsimiles and black and white and colour, including a fold-out map. 25 x 32.5cm.
