Models Matter

"It saddens me that so many voiceless faces from the Fifties to the late Eighties have faded into oblivion," Steven Meisel writes in the Preface to Christopher Niquet's new book combining photographs of historic fashion models and their autographs. "Until I met Christopher Niquet, I thought I was their only admirer, the only archivist of their stories. The fact that someone as young as Christopher cares about Susan Moncur's legacy is cause for amazement, relief and hope. These women deserve our recognition. They were all so unique, so talented, so passionate about their craft. How could I forget them?" Featured here, "ne plus ultra rock'n roll chick" Anita Pallenberg.
