Production
The film was shot in London and New York.[2]
To recreate the 1962 Vogue cover shoot, the filmmakers used a variety of techniques, including using the same or near identical locations in Manhattan, as well as using a combination of props and computer-generated imagery.[3]
Soundtrack
Jazz music, composed by Kevin Sargent, is used throughout the film, reflecting David Bailey's love for the genre. Dedicated themes accompany each of the main protagonists.[3][4]
