Vintage Seekers says

This range of Falloon's fashion photography, unseen for several decades, has been recently released and is for sale online exclusively through Vintage Seekers in very limited edition. Fashion model Twiggy (real name Lesley Lawson née Hornby) was one of the most prominent fashion models during London's Swinging Sixties. Twiggy was photographed here by Falloon in the flat of her manager Justin de Villeneuve for a magazine article, wearing various coloured Valspar macs. Known as the man who 'shot the 60s' for his iconic period shots, Ronald Falloon is a talented contemporary of David Bailey and Terence Donovan. Born in Calcutta in 1937, Ronald Falloon's family fled India as the Partition violence broke out. While studying music at Heidelberg University with little motivation, Falloon's college roommate convinced him to come and stay in the south of France for the summer. Here he became aware of his passion for photography.

"Twiggy is now the face - and body - of Marks and Spencer. Is this the direction of travel for all supermodels? Will Naomi Campbell become the face of M&S?"
