Jean Shrimpton’s Secret Moments

START

Although Old Hollywood legends and royal princesses alike may have been revered for their enviable style and penchant for luxury, they also grappled with troubled upbringings and tumultuous relationships throughout their lifetimes. Delving past the curtain of glamorous celebrity, Secret Moments is a series humanizing the icons of yesterday.

Decades before the Big Six and Hadid family spilled from magazine pages across the world, Jean “The Shrimp” Shrimpton was setting the mold for generations of supermodels to come. Born in England in 1942, Shrimpton’s modeling career skyrocketed before she turned 21. She graced the covers of fashion’s biggest publications within a few years of her first photoshoot, catapulted by her gamine style and doe-eyed beauty. Dubbed “The Face of the ’60s,” Shrimpton’s ethereal appeal reflected the eccentric youthquake movement of the decade in London. While her external charm dominated the fashion industry, Shrimpton’s tumultuous love life trickled through media and public gossip until her premature retirement in her early 30s. CR looks back on lesser-known facts about the notoriously private supermodel.
