Jill Kennington (born 2 January 1943)[1] is a British fashion model and photographer.
[3] At the age of 18, Kennington started at Michael Whittaker's small "school" for aspiring models and after only two days, met Norman Hartnell who was about to do a major UK tour; he declared, "Darling, you are going to be my mascot".
[5] Cowan injected action and dynamism into his shoots that had previously been lacking in fashion photography.
Work from that period is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum,[6] while work with other photographers, including Norman Parkinson and Lord Lichfield is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.
Kennington has also worked with the photographers David Bailey, Terence Donovan, Brian Duffy, Helmut Newton, Jeanloup Sieff, Richard Avedon, William Klein, and Bob Richardson.
