Marissa Berenson, dubbed 'the girl of the Seventies' by Vogue, represented a sophisticated evolution of the youthful aesthetic Bailey had pioneered with Jean Shrimpton. Berenson, granddaughter of the surrealist designer Elsa Schiaparelli, was not merely a beauty but a cultural icon whose aristocratic lineage and ineffable presence earned her the title 'Queen of the Scene' by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Bailey’s intimate framing highlights her radiant quality before her transition to an award-winning actress in films like Cabaret (1972) and Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon (1975).
