| 1 | Is widely remarked by the media as one of the world's first supermodels and icon of 1960s Swinging London. Popular for revolutionising the modeling world with her new look, in which she began her career at the start of the 1960s, she was the predecessor to the later skinny models of that era such as Twiggy and Penelope Tree ("The Tree"). Jean Shrimpton broke the mould of the generation of 1950s models before her, who were aristocratic-looking and had voluptuous, curvaceous figures, by contrasting them with her playfully, coltish gamine looks of the Youthquake Movement in 1960s Swinging London and her long legs and very slim stick figure which gave her the famous nickname "The Shrimp". She was also known for her long hair with a fringe, wide doe-eyes, long wispy eyelashes, arched brows, and pouty lips. During her modeling career, Shrimpton was widely reported to be the "world's highest paid model", the "most famous model", the "most photographed in the world" and was described as having the "world's most beautiful face". She was also dubbed "The It Girl", "The Face", "The Face of the Moment", and "The Face of the '60s". |
