My collection of favourite vintage models: If you think I’ve missed anyone important please comment and let me know – I love finding new vintage style icons. If you can’t find the model you’re looking for it might be worth checking out the gallery of vintage TV and movie stars, as there are a lot of models who also fall into that category!
If you think we’re missing anyone important, just let us know!
Contact me for images of Ruth Neumann and Carmen Dell’Orifice. Absolute must haves!

Hi Andrea
Good to hear from you again – I tried contacting you a while ago but without any luck! 🙂 I haven’t been able to find many images of Ruth Neumann which are free to use – could you suggest any?
What about Brigitte Bardot? I so miss her in this collection of models… I hope to see her here in the future 🙂
I’ve actually listed Brigitte Bardot in the Movies and TV section – I guess she should be listed as a model too, just like Angelica Huston… 🙂
Your attribution of the image of Peggy Moffit is correct. It’s not Penelope Tree. One major clue is the shoe which was a style of the early 60s. Tree was the 70s, not 60s. The other give away is the profile. Tree does not have the same bone structure as Moffit.
Marisa Berenson
Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford vintage??!! I don’t know about that Lol! I wonder what they would think about that 😉
Ha ha – I can only imagine how delighted they would be! How could I not include them though – apparently 80s counts as vintage now… (hence Cindy) and I just felt I couldn’t leave Kate Moss out – she’s too fab!
Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, were not also professional models and are listed… Why Princess Grace Kelly Grimaldi and Audrey Hepburn don’t? Very unfair, Mary. 🙁
ah, that’s because it’s models AND style icons on this page. Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn are listed under ‘Stage and Screen’
You see there’s method to my madness… 😉
Nico (have a look at Velvet Underground). susanne erichsen (the ‘Frauleinwunder’). Isabella Rosselini.
