Vogue UK January 1974 

A fact I would like to highlight is that Manolo Blahnik was the first man on the cover of Vogue UK. It was in 1974 and he appears with the actress Anjelica Huston, both holding a champagne flûte and wearing elegant clothes. As background, the photographer David Bailey chose a beach located in the South of France.
