I believe she's Somolian. ^Great clip OmiFan! What the heck happened?! Karen Alexander was so stunning! The same goes for the rest in that clip. Who was on the vogue cover in the beginning of the clip and on the seventeen cover?

I'm confused by 'what happened',jokes?! But the Vogue is of course Donyale and the Seventeen is of Joyce Walker!

Joyce Walker gave me a bit of Twiggy on the cover of Seventeen.

These aren't hq at all but I thought some of you might still be interested:

Helen Williams- she started modeling in the mid-50s and was the most photographed black model of her day even though she never appeared in "white" publications.

Jolie Jones looks like Rhianna a bit there

All of the black models of the 90's.

Guys, where's Kiara Kabukuru???

She's up here, I remember posting her. Just type her name in the search thread.

Gosh, simplylovely, you are serving us history, thanks. I had no idea about these Black models of the 50s and 60s. I mean, I knew they were around, but of course I did not know them by name or face. Jolie and Daphne are GORGEOUS, as are the other women, but those two just stand out to me, Jolie especially. She looks dreamy. LOL. She did mod well.

 

[simplylovely]

Well you'd have to thank OmiFan for posting the most. I usually post new faces or recent models onto this thread. Though I do love to post a few classic models from the 80's & 90's every now and again. I admire them the most!

Wow thanks for posting these though i have to make a clarification the third is Princess Elizabeth of Tooro not Togo. Tooro is a Kingdom in Uganda, always wondered how that cover looked

Thanks for correcting my typo. I copied it down incorrectly from the source. I've changed it on my blog as well.
