Model Monday! Patti Hansen. Pt 5. I’m obsessed with vintage, and this week I’m going back to the 70s. Patti, with her freckled face and corn fed naivety, was the quintessential all American, Girl Next Door! She oozed a subtle sexiness which progressed as her career grew, marrying a Rolling Stone, and living the glamours party girl lifestyle ( a regular on the New York party circuit, notably 54 ), she was at the top her game amongst her generation of supermodels. Working with all the legendary photographers, the likes of Arthur Elgort, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn and Chris Von Wangenheim, Patti featured in some of the greatest fashion photography of our time! ( Along with staring roles in campaigns for the likes of Dior, Calvin Klien, Chanel, Versace and more ). A VOGUE cover girl time and again, Patti has transcended the last 40 years, ageing gracefully and beautifully, she practically still looks the same, perhaps even more beautiful….. Like they say a rolling stone gathers no moss……
