We love this Terry Richardson shoot for Harper’s Bazaar with Georgia May Jagger as Margaret Thatcher. As Maggie herself said:

“What you do is decide the clothes in which you are comfortable. You must be comfortable… Never flashy, just appropriate, well-tailored, and it is not unfeminine to be well-tailored.”
 

The American photographer Eve Arnold has sadly died. Arnold was a truly inspiring woman, defying the conventions of her time to become a female photographer and photojournalist shooting for magazines such as Life and Picture Post. Arnold often travelled to remote places and dangerous parts of the world to bring back stories as well as photographing many of the most iconic figures of her time.

The much-awaited film, ‘The Iron Lady’, arrives in our cinemas today. Check out the windows of our Bespoke shop celebrating Margaret Thatcher and her style…

All we want for Christmas is Philippe Halsman’s ‘Jump Book’… photographer Halsman, who had over 101 Life covers during his career, was not content to photograph his subjects sitting still but instead asked them to jump. The way that each person jumped showed their true personality. There are hundreds of photographs of iconic figures jumping, including President Nixon, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Dali, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and architect Walter Gropius. Sadly the book is now out of print you might be able to track it down.
