Wilhelmina Cooper

[Miss Dalloway]

A fine boned beauty,whose face has always appealed to me.She just exuded grace and elegance,and since not only as a model,but an agency owner she contributed alot to the fashion industry i thought she deserves her own thread.

Dutch-born Wilhelmina Cooper, whose features adorned the covers of more than 300 magazines before she and her husband started their own model agency, says probably 80% of her female models now study acting. The Wilhelmina Agency also has an office in Los Angeles,1979.

^^Um yes..of course she was one of the Supermodels of her era.And there are more i just dont have them.And she was in total on more than 300 fashion covers.

 

[kezme44]

[vintageamour]

i know...but still a little but excessive to put her 9 times on the cover in 2 years

Ah true,but those were different times.Someone like Lauren Hutton or Brooke Shields(later on)could be three months in a row on the cover of Vogue.
