Life after modeling and the swinging sixties

---

After Jean Shrimpton’s modeling career she kept her life private what we know now is that she runs abbey hotel Penzance with her husband and son 

"Fashion is full of dark, troubled people," she says. "It's a high-pressured environment that takes its toll and burns people out. Only the shrewd survive – Andy Warhol, for example, and David Bailey." We are talking about British fashion designer John Galliano, who was sacked by Dior last month after allegedly making antisemitic comments. Shrimpton, dressed in a simple, unostentatious black dress – more bohemian than haute couture – is quick to lament the fashion world's excesses. "No one can condone what he said – it's reprehensible. But it's hypocritical to pretend that fashion is normal, that people in it are role models. And it's stupid to deny that people behave badly."
