DONYALE LUNA | VINTAGE BLACK GLAMOUR & GRACE
Donyale Luna became the first black model
in the world to appear on the cover of a major fashion magazine…..the March 1966 British issue of
Vogue. It took another eight years for the magazine’s American counterpart to do the same…..Beverly Johnson in 1974.
With her exotic looks, Donyale quickly rose to fame in the modeling world
with Harper’s Bazaar featuring a sketch of her on the cover of its
January 1965 issue, in addition to a six-page feature of Luna that caused
advertisers in the south to pull advertising, with some readers actually
canceling
their subscription.
The Shangri-Las were an American pop girl group of the 1960s. Between 1964 and 1966 they charted with teen melodramas, and remain especially known for their hits “Leader of the Pack”, “Remember” and “Give Him a Great Big Kiss.”

BEVERLY JOHNSON |
VINTAGE
BLACK GLAMOUR & GRACE
Beverly Johnson
was one of America’s top models during the 70s and 80s and was the first African
American woman to appear on the cover of American Vogue in 1974
After her groundbreaking cover, Johnson used her celebrity to champion
civil rights causes and open doors for other black models. In the years
since, she’s become an actress, entrepreneur, and author, but Johnson
can still pose with the best of them. Though she would later go on to
grace Vogue’s cover three more times, Johnson’s historic first earned her a place in history and gave modeling one of its biggest stars.
Vintage books, old china, antiques; maybe I love old things so much because I feel impermanent myself.
