In her autobiography, Jean Shrimpton tells of meeting David Bailey on the set of a photo shoot, and in the four years they were together, “The Shrimp” became the highest-paid model of her time. Shrimpton later credited Bailey with shaping her career and the pouty, coltish look of London's swinging “youthquake.” She was as stylish in her real life as in the many editorials she shot for magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
