Gail O'Neill was a top model in the '80s. Did a lot of Vogue, etc. I love her hair!

Shakara is a fairly new model, I believe. I've only seen a few pics of her.

Who were the top black models of the 70s besides Iman and Beverly?

I think they were the main two. Peggy Dillard did a lot of Vogue as well.

I think they were the main two. Peggy Dillard did a lot of Vogue as well.

Peggy was hot, just as big as the two(Bev & Iman) maybe even bigger. She had Cosmo,Mademoiselle, and Vogue covers in the US. Naomi Sims worked until the early 70s when she retired. Honorable Mentions:Alvin Chinn, Dana Dixon, Pat Cleveland, Sheila Anderson, Toukie Smith.
