COOL OVER 50
It was not just her luscious and lengthy figure that made her one of the
highest-paid models in 1967, it was also her mystique, described on the
cover of Life magazine as “Bizarre, Exotic, Six Feet Veruschka—The Girl
Everybody Stares At.”
Though Veruschka stepped away from the commercial side of modeling,
she occasionally shows up on catwalks. In 1994, she made a surprise
appearance at the Chanel spring show in Paris, and at age 78, Veruschka
recently popped up for Resort season as the Face of Acne Studios
reminding one and all that Richard Avedon’s “most beautiful woman in
the world” can still walk the runway looking like a Greek deity.
"A body does not have to be only a clothes rack, it can
also be an instrument of metamorphosis or a painter's
canvas." - Veruschka
“Veruschka! The '60s Icon Proves
There's No Age Limit on Cool.”
-Vogue
