British Fashion Photographer Corinne Day passed away on th 27th of August from a long term illness.

Day was credited with creating the heroine chic movement after splitting from the 80's high glamour photography of the day and shooting a grungy looking model, the then unknown Kate Moss. The heroine chic look spread across the fashion world like wildfire, however, it soon became mired in controversy and was accused of glamourising drugs and encouraging anorexia.

This lead to Day distancing herself from fashion for a period and exploring projects in other areas such as commerical and fine art photography in which she gain acclaim before returning to fashion in 2000 shooting for Vogue and other well known publications.
