April 1962: 'Young Idea Goes West'

The April 1962 issue of British Vogue magazine features photos of English model Jean Shrimpton, taken by David Bailey. The photo spread, called "Young Idea Goes West," was shot in New York in January; it was heralded as changing the course of fashion photography as well as typifying a more youthful popular culture.
