EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous occasion in London's history, as Ann Summers, the shop secretary herself, stands proudly at the opening of the eponymous sex supermarket. The year is 1970, and Marble Arch serves as the backdrop for this groundbreaking event. Annice Summers, born Annice Goodwin in 1941 but later adopting her stepfather's surname, played an instrumental role in shaping this iconic brand. Named after her by founder Michael Caborn-Waterfield, Ann Summers quickly became synonymous with adult retailing. However, fate had other plans for Annice. A disagreement with Caborn-Waterfield led to her departure from the company shortly after its inception. Seeking solace abroad, she found refuge in Umbria, Italy where she resided until her untimely passing due to cancer in October 2012. Despite Ann's departure from the business world years ago, her legacy lives on through Ann Summers' continued success. As of 2019, this pioneering brand boasts an impressive presence with over 140 high street shops across the United Kingdom. Tom King expertly captured this historic moment on September 9th of that transformative year - a snapshot frozen in time that immortalizes both a remarkable woman and a revolutionary concept within consumer culture.
