Photographer: Rod Delroy. Model: Kate Dowson. Hair: Ian Robson.
Fashion: Way In at Harrods. Friday 7 August 1981.
A Scanned Polaroid Photograph from my collection.
I only worked with the wonderful fashion photographer Rod Delroy about a dozen times. First time was in 1976 for The Evening Standard – funnily enough the last time was in 1981 also for an editorial in The Evening Standard.
A memorable session with Rod was a promotional shoot for Way In – Way In was an in-store fashion boutique/department at Harrods.
I suppose, if I remember correctly, the session was our attempt to pay homage to, and add some sophistication and change to the ever dwindling New Romantics fashion scene, which by August 1981 was getting past its best – Spandau Ballet meets Edgar Degas!
I’ve a strong feeling that Delightful Delroy has pegged out – if you know what has happened to the fashion photographer Rod Delroy, Please Let Me Know
I just came across some photos I did with Rod. I was very fond of him and great photographer. Would love to hear about him…
He sure was Deborah, let’s see your photos and I’ll post them on here for you :-) Thanks for your comment xXx

Deborah, I’ve just realised who you are!! I’m sure, but can’t remember when, I did your hair in the mid 70’s (fashion show or photo session, maybe even in the salon, Ricci’s)? You were with Bobton’s weren’t you.
Obviously you knew Nicole and Prudence: http://www.slashhair.net/naked-lunch-on-the-grass-avec-nicole-garre/

Hey Id like to know where Rod is , I had the studio below him in Bedford Gardens. Last knew he was living near Hindhead in Kent area, Peter Phipp
Hi Peter, Thank you for youe comment. Yes, it was in Rod’s Bedford Gardens studio that the Polaroid was taken.
For some reason I know your name, did you know Charlie Kemp?
Anyway, I’ve no idea where he is now!
hI i ASSISTED Rod for a while @Bedford gardens..X
When did you do that Simon?
I remember you Simon ! How are u what are you up to ? Peter Phipp
Hi there Peter! I have never lived in Hindhead,which is not in Kent anyway but I live in West Sussex with my wife Marian and have done for the last twenty years! Rod
But, I assume that you are NOT Rod Delroy? Otherwise you’d have said, “Hello, I’ve not pegged out yet!”
Who are you Rod?
HI (Scottish) Simon
My goodness what a blast from the past!! What are you up to these days? Rod
Hi
I don’t know what suddenly made me think of Rod but I also would love to contact him. What a lovely person!!! I do miss those days… and him.

Rod,
If you are still reading this thread, I’d love to get in touch.
Hope all is well,
David
I think he’s pegged out David!
So sad, if that’s the case.
I have great memories of working with Rod in the 80s.
And if he has gone to the darkroom in the sky, he was far too young to do so.
Bless you, Rod … and thanks for all the fun.
Very true David, me too.
“Darkroom in the sky” …I always thought of him as a ‘light-box’ man myself ;)
He was, is, a great photographer, I don’t know for sure that he’s died, but I think he has!
We Are we still talking about Rod Delroy here aren’t we?
Hey Rod I’m back in Edinburgh caring for my mother after 10 years in Ibiza.
