And who watched for fashion inspiration? The models, obviously. Let's talk about the top 8 models of the 1950s.

1. Dovima
Everyone knows Dovima, she was probably the most famous model of the 1950s. But did you know how she climbed the name? It is a pseudonym composed of the first two letters of his name Dorothy Virginia Margaret. In fact, it is quite a miracle Dovima has become a model, considering that she has contracted rheumatic fever at the age of 10 and spent the next seven years at home at home. She was discovered by the Vogue staff member at the end of the 1940s, 1949 to be exact and 1950 is a star!

2. Sunny Harnett

In addition to being a very successful model, Sunny also made actors on the side and even appeared in a funny face with Audrey Hepburn.


3. Dorian Leigh
Dorian Leigh (Doria Leigh Parker) was a famous model and appeared on more than 50 magazine covers in his day and was the face of Revlon. Men adored her and women wanted to be her. You know what is really strange though? If it were not for his colleague, she would never have thought of being a model. During the war, Dorian actually worked as a mechanical engineer and parts designed for planes. Then she has developed problems with her view and had to rock to be an editor for images of the Republic. It was when she worked in the images of the republic that a colleague from his suggested that she should try to model. And in this case, it was the best advice of all time, do not you think?

4. Suzy Parker
As you can probably say that Suzy was Dorian's sister. It is clear that good looking in the family, because Suzy has also become a model. She could become the fashion icon of the 1950s thanks to the connection of her sister. It was Dorian who introduced Suzy to the famous photographer Richard Azedon. They both went to Paris for fashion demonstrations in the 50s and Suzy career were essentially taken off.


5. Jean Patchett
Jean Patchett did not really think of becoming a model right away. She was just a girl from Preston, Maryland. She tried first a lot of different professions and even went to the secretarial school. But it was not supposed to be. Jean was really supposed to be a model. His dark eyes, a large graceful silhouette with long members and this trademark next to his right eye - it's as if she was born to be a model. She signed her first modeling contract in 1948 and 1950, she was in vogue. She was a supermodelle before the term did not even exist.

6. Lisa Fonsagrives
Lisa, like many other girls at the time, never really stated to be a model. As a child, she was more interested in art, dance and sculpture. She studied art and dance in Berlin. Later, she even opened her own dance school. His love of dance brought him to Paris to train for ballet. This is where she met her future husband Fernand Fonsagiviers, who was photographer. It was he who brought him to model at first, then she was taken over by a modeling agency and became a superior model. She appeared on blankets of vogue, time, vanity and many others.


7. Anne St Mary
Anne was one of the most important models of the 50s. She was confident and beautiful, elegant and graceful and somehow a little mysterious. On many of his photos, you will see that his eyebrows raised a little and his smile always seemed a little ironic. It's like it's always amused by something going on outside the photo or behind the camera. She was amazing, but being a model has never been easy. Despite its beauty and confidence, it has always suffered from a mental breakdown when it was 30 years old because it realized that it will soon be replaced by younger models. It's a kind of tragic really that such a beautiful woman is worried about something like that, but it's the life of a model.

8. Carmen dell'orefice
Carmen is a unique woman. She has been on the blankets of the vogue since the age of 15 and always now, at the age of 85, is the oldest working model. She had breaks in her career, but she always returned to modeling. She looks amazing and people around the world are curious, how does she manage to look so much at 85 years old. She always says that you have to take care of yourself and pay attention to what you eat. But she does not hide that she had work. It has been making silicone injections for many years, even decades to improve its natural beauty. She had really horrible sound dermabrasion about 50 years ago who withdrew a layer of her skin to get rid of damage and sunshine wrinkles.
