The It Girl of the 1960s
Everyone wanted to look like Pattie Boyd in the 1960s. Born on March 17, 1944, in Somerset, England, the English model and photographer was one of the leading international models of the time and pretty much epitomized the British female style of the era. First, she worked as a shampoo girl in Elizabeth Arden’s salon.

Then, a client from the fashion industry spotted her and helped her get into the world of modeling. She had worked in London, New York, and Paris, appearing in UK and Italian editions of Vogue magazine. So what does it mean to be the It girl of 1960s Britain? It means she caught the eye of some famous musicians (we’ll get to the whole list later). One of those being The Beatles’ George Harrison.
