Marie Helvin

Marie Helvin (born August 13, 1952 in Tokyo, Japan) is a fashion model, who worked extensively with David Bailey—to whom she was married between 1975–85. In the 1970s and 1980s she appeared in many fashion stories for British Vogue and posed for a series of nude photographs made by David Bailey, which were published in his 1980 book Trouble and Strife. They went on to collaborate on four more photograohic books and continued to work on multiple stories for British, French and Italian Vogues. Marie Helvin is often referred to as one of the most beautiful women of our time, named as one of the top 30 supermodels of all time in Channel 5's "World's greatest supermodel". She is now internationally known as much for her writing and television work as she is a fashion icon. Named as "the face of the Seventies", Marie appeared on the cover of Vogue a record dozen times. Many of her most memorable images, now classics of fashion photography, were taken by David Bailey.
