The TURTLENECK page

including the Trafalgar Square (Walkabout) series

I think some of the outdoor "walkabout" shots were taken in Rome in November 1958.
I know some were in Trafalgar Square around 1955 - especially the ones with the little suitcase..
Same turtleneck, however! Sabby loved her turtleneck top.

Anyone who was there, I'd love some advice!

Even overseas in England, they are starting to return to their senses.
What does their national sensation, the fabulous Sabrina choose when she really wants to look glamorous?
Take a look and see for yourselves.

Below: You can tell she's in love with that dress.

Important shots for two reasons...

1. An important picture in Spick & Span 1957 that gives some context to some of the mysterious shots on this page. It seems the event was a photo shoot by American Russ Meyer. The S&S article also features shots from the "Lace" collection , and the Flannelette series so they might be Meyer shots too. It must have been a very busy day for Sabby!

2. Important, too, for Terry who wrote on 3 May 2008...

"I was amazed and delighted to find a photograph of me with Sabrina at a photoshoot in Trafalgar Square around 1955. In the picture I am the airman on the left, in the peaked cap, with my friend in the beret. It means a lot to me as I lost all photos taken while in the RAF. If Sabrina sees this e-mail, I would love to hear from her, as we were born in the same year. But I understand she can't reply to everyone. I wish her very good health and happiness. - Best wishes, Terry F"

'GI's are the same everywhere, she says.'

November 1958. Shorter hair? Different belt. Slacks...

I think this is one of my top-three all-time favourite Sabrina shots.
What are yours?

The iconic shot I call Queen Sabrina is now SUPERSIZED and UNCROPPED!

And this is why I call the shot 'Queen Sabrina'. I know it's a bit cheeky, but I couldn't resist it.

The pic above was found in 2017 by Countess Anastasia Arden of West Siberia

Back in windy Britain in 1959 after her Australian visit

Found by Sir Tim in Modern Man , June 1956

In November 2018, I found an uncropped version of the pic above. It shows Sabrina on a boat, and the caption says "Sabrina... strange choice to appear before the Queen at next month's Royal Variety Performance in London" - placing the pic before 5 Nov 1956.

Sabrina looks very young in this shot
