Amy Shekhter’s “Fly Away” features the stunning English model Jean Shrimpton in a stylish astronaut suit embellished with pearl beads and colorful resin elements made by hand by the artist. Shrimpton was described as having the “world’s most beautiful face” and as “the most beautiful girl in the world” during her career as a model in the 60s. Here, Shekhter captures the model’s allure and beautifully highlights Shrimpton’s famous face. Shrimpton is still considered one of the most iconic models of all time. She was a pioneer of the supermodel era, and her influence can still be seen in the fashion world today.
