Twiggy talks David Bowie and staying in control of the camera : Subjective

In part eight, Twiggy talks to Nick Knight about working with David Bowie, why Bowie wasn't your typical rock 'n' roll star, how her appearance on the cover of his 1973 record 'Pin Ups' came to be and staying in control of the camera.

I'm currently having a David Bowie crisis and it is very appreciated that you, that were closest to this time, get to share your memories with us. Thank you a lot !

Iconic album cover. Nick, would love to see you speak about the process and inspiration on some of your iconic album covers as well (Bjork, Seal, Sakamoto, Bowie, Massive Attack etc.).

I got this album on CD last year in Ukraine, they still have CD shops.

No mention of Pierre LaRoche for the exquisite makeup. Interesting also that Twiggy remembers Vogue refusing to use the shot whereas all other sources have the opposite take with Vogue being furious that Bowie trumped them by using it as the album cover.

@cornelius washington the photographer was the brilliant Justin De Villeneuve who was Twiggy's manager/boyfriend at the time

@cornelius washington I remember the rival albums...I bought both of them on the days of release...still have them/still play them...great era.

[@dodibenabba1378]

@cornelius washington Bowie stole all of his "good ideas"! Don't get me started with Neu! and his Berlin period....

She is so sweat and nice, class will never vanish!!

I can't believe they turned down the one chance to make David Bowie the first man to appear on the cover of Vogue.

I like her laugh. I'm unfamiliar with him. He has a resemblance to Frank Langella. I think.
