John Temple Boy

In 1963 Marc shifted his focus on to his appearance and clothes and he soon became known as “The Face” around his locality. Sporting an impressive wardrobe of sharp suits and expensive shoes it wasn’t long before the media noticed him, fascinated by the newly emerging Mod Movement. In 1962 the top men’s magazine “Town” interviewed Marc and his fellow Mod friends for an in-depth article, but it was Marc who came through as the main subject with a number of photographs of him liberally illustrating the pages.This fascination with his image stayed with him and Marc enjoyed the prestige that came with being the coolest lad around his locale, a situation that only changed when the family later upped sticks and moved to Summerstown.

The following year, 1964, Marc carried out some modelling work for Littlewood's catalogue and for a brochure for menswear retailers John Temple. He is reported as saying that he was also a cutout model for the John Temple shop window displays too.
