Originally posted by Victoria & Albert Museum:

"David Bailey rose to fame as a fashion photographer in the early 1960s, his photographs. He published 'David Bailey's box of pin-ups' in 1965 as a loose portfolio of 36 portraits of the mainly-male fashionable elite that, as the cover description states, 'belong to Bailey's own world of fashion, pop music and the Ad Lib [nightclub]'. Each portrait is accompanied by notes by Francis Wyndham.

Surprisingly, only four of the pin-ups are women, all of whom are models. As the notes explain, 'in the age of Mick Jagger, it is the boys who are the pin-ups'. Here, Bailey photographs the film producer Jimmy Woolf, who is described in the notes as ' cool, smooth, intelligent, malicious' with the glamour of a chessmaster.

The portraits constitute a celebration of the growing celebrity culture of the Sixties, and many of them have become the definitive images of key figures of cultural life in London during the Swinging Sixties."

Above quote references the portrait of Jimmy Woolf. Here's a link to the Victoria & Albert Museum's Bailey images.
