About the Item
Framed 30x30" print of English model Twiggy poses with David Bowie in Paris for the cover of his ‘Pin Ups’ album, 1973, by Justin de Villeneuve
Justin recalls, "Twiggy and I were staying in the Bel Air Hotel in LA when Peter Frampton visited us and had bought along a copy of Aladdin Sane by this wonderful new artist David Bowie. One of Bowie’s lyrics included ’Twig the Wonder Kid.’ Apparently, he was a fan. When we arrived back in London, we met up with David and he mentioned he’d love to be on the cover of Vogue! I then spent a few weeks persuading B Miller (editor) that it would be great to have David and Twiggy on a Vogue cover. Eventually she agreed! Twiggy and I flew to Paris where David was recording his new album ‘Pin Ups’ and I booked a studio to take the portrait. When T & B sat in front of me I realized we had a problem. Twiggy and myself had just returned from the Bahamas and she had a dark tan. David was as white as a ghost. They looked weird. The problem was resolved when the make-up artist Pierre LaRoche and myself decided to draw masks on their faces of the same colors. When I looked through the lens viewfinder I only then noticed that Bowie had different color eyes!! All the times I’d met him before I had never noticed. When I showed David the polaroid of the portrait he loved it and asked if he could have it as the cover of his new album. I replied ‘but this is a special commission for Vogue.’ I then asked him how many albums he thought he would sell, ‘a million’ he replied. I realized Vogue would sell about 80,000 copies which would soon be forgotten. I agreed David could use it as his next album cover Vogue never spoke to me again!"
