[Kalista]

Did a search and was surprised to find there wasn't a thread on her. So here ya go, one thread dedicated to one lovely lady and to, arguably, the first supermodel.

aww. finally. i was wondering whether other 60s models (apart from twiggy and penelope tree) had their own threads.

jean shrimpton is so cool! she was so daring to wear a miniskirt to the Melbourne Cup. oh and by the way, how tall is she?

Yppe, the first pic you posted (and also your avatar) is actually of Chrissie Shrimpton, Jean's younger sister

I have those, the first is taken from the Bailey's Black'n'White Catalogue, the other from the Ready, Steady, Go: The Smashing Rise and Giddy Fall of Swinging London Book.

Thanks for the pics PollyM, they're lovely

Really? I've always thought it was her, and the page where I found it says it's Jean.
Thanks for the info, the sister is so beautiful too.

Yeah, I always thought she looked so much like Jean, just a younger-looking version

fleur137, I'm not sure but I believe she was around 5"7. I can try and find out for you, although I'm sure maybe another member has the answer

Oh, The Shrimp! I saw that she was D&G's muse for their fall rtw. The pics are great.
