Great to see Norman Parkinson’s photograph of Jerry Hall in The Guardian this week. This iconic image of the model standing on a USSR plinth in 1976 for British ‘Vogue’ was described as one of the “40 outrageous photos that changed fashion”.

When a team from British Vogue – including photographer Norman Parkinson, stylist Grace Coddington and model Jerry Hall – were asked to shoot in the Soviet Union, they became the first fashion magazine to receive such an invitation. Appointed a tourist guide, they travelled around with Parkinson pushing Hall, then 18, to the extreme. She climbed up oil rigs, stood on a specially commissioned plinth in the Red Sea and fell off a horse riding bareback.
