Photographer Juston De Villeneure (real name Nigel Davies) was the boyfriend of Twiggy (real name Leslie Horby), the English model who appears on the cover with Bowie (Bowie mentions her as "Twig the Wonderkid" in the song "Drive-In Saturday").

The photo was originally intended for the cover of English Vogue magazine. De Villeneure was commissioned by Bea Miller, the London editor of Vogue, to photograph a cover of Twiggy and David Bowie together. However, De Villeneure ended up giving the picture to Bowie to use on the PinUps cover instead.

"Twiggy and I were in Los Angeles when Aladdin Sane (1973) had just been released. We heard Twiggy's name come over the radio in David's song "Drive In Saturday". I had just photographed a couple of Vogue covers and I thought it would be a good idea for David to be on a cover with Twiggy.

He would be the first man on a Vogue cover. I called him in France. He loved the idea and arranged a photo-session. When he saw the finished picture he asked if he could use it for his album sleeve. I said to him "I've just flown to Paris for Vogue especially to do their cover." Then I asked David "How many albums do you sell? He said "About a million, hopefully." Vogue would sell about 80,000 copies in the UK. I owned the picture, so I let him have it. I was a little arrogant then! Vogue didn't talk with me for years after. They were very angry. I knew that I had made the right decision giving David the photograph when months later I was driving through Los Angeles and I saw a 60 foot billboard of the album cover on Sunset Boulevard." - Juston De Villeneure (1999)
