1967 was an extraordinary year for Victoria Nixon. Spotted in London s Bond Street by none other than Helmut Newton, who photographed her for Vogue, she was soon travelling the world with a paid-for smile, earning a fortune and hanging out with the era s legendary figures, from Andy Warhol and The Beach Boys to Salvador Dali and the Shah of Iran. But this glamorous dream came to a sudden end when Victoria s brother took his own life in her New York apartment, echoing their father s suicide ten years earlier, and her mother passed away shortly afterwards.
When your family die before you re twenty-four it takes a particular kind of strength to keep going, especially when you ve been catapulted from a Yorkshire mining town into a strange world of taut poses and blazing lights. Victoria was alone, struggling to fake those smiles in the face of bewildering grief. She had to make her own rules for survival.
Head Shot is the story of a beautiful life ripped apart by circumstance, and built up again by hard work and the quiet solace found in hope. Packed with astonishing images by the photographers Victoria worked with, and the defiant fashions she wore throughout her career, it also bears witness to a time of unparalleled cultural energy and invention.
