PATRICK LICHFIELD: NUDES

TREATS! hasn’t been this excited for a gallery showing since, well, Terry O’Neil’s last year here in the City of Angels. From April 24 to May 26, The Little Black Gallery in London will be showcasing “Patrick Lichfield: Nudes.” Born in 1939, Lichfield was an internationally renowned photographer who worked for major magazines, exhibited worldwide, and published several books during his career. Other than having a keen eye for nude photography and style (he shot the iconic wedding pictures of Mick and Bianca Jagger and the infamous first pictures of Michael York) and being a seminal Man About Town, Lichfield was royalty—of sorts. He inherited the Earldom of Lichfield in 1960 from his paternal grandfather. His great break in photography, however, was when he was called by then Vogue editor, Diana Vreeland, to photograph the Duke and Duchess of Windsor—and, astoundingly, given a five-year contract with American Vogue on the spot. And in 1981, he was appointed official photographer at the wedding of his cousin, The Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer, a job every photographer in the UK coveted. See you guys in London!
