English singer-songwriter Bryan Ferry was born on September 26, 1945. “Elegant, seductive croon” is how others have characterised his voice. In addition, he developed a distinctive appearance and sense of style.
According to The Independent, both Bowie and Ferry, a contemporary, had a profound impact on a generation through both their music and their public personas. Ferry was referred to by Peter York as “an art piece” who “should hang at the Tate.”
Who is Bryan Ferry wife Lucy Birley?
Model, photographer, and socialite Lucy Margaret Mary Birley (née Helmore; 18 September 1959 – 23 July 2018) was from the United Kingdom.
Birley was reared in Kensington after being born in Shropshire. She was the daughter of Patrick Helmore, an underwriter for the Lloyd’s of London insurance company, and Mary (née Hull). Edward Helmore, her brother, works as a reporter for The Guardian and The Observer.
She went to Woldingham School and started fox hunting when she was twelve years old.
She moved in with several pals, including actor Rupert Everett, when she was seventeen and had fled home.
In her late teens, Birley (then Helmore) started her career as a fashion model. She collaborated with a number of well-known photographers, such as Steven Meisel and Robert Mapplethorpe.
She impacted fashion icons like Christian Lacroix, Manolo Blahnik, and Philip Treacy with her own sense of style.
