Footnotes

"At the time, Justin was still looking after Twiggy. Bowie wanted to meet Twiggy, and they wanted to meet him so Justin arranged for them to see each other. Bowie really wanted to be on the cover of Vogue, as it was one of the few magazine covers he hadn't appeared on. Justin knew Bea Miller the editor and Barney Wan the art director, so he called them up and off they went. Justin wasn't strictly a photographer, in fact at that time he wasn't a photographer at all, but he'd seen a lot of snappers take pictures of Twiggy, and he thought it couldn't actually be that difficult. And it wasn't. A few days after the shoot Bowie called up and asked if he could use it for his album cover. Justin asked him how much it was going to sell, and Bowie thought about it for a while and then said, "Well, probably about a million." So he let him have the pictures. Vogue were furious, and no one from the magazine would ever talk to Justin again."
