Linda Morand

Linda Morand was one of the top fashion models of the mid-'60s to 1975. She was discovered by Eileen Ford in 1966 and appeared in "Vogue", "Glamour", "Mademoiselle", "Teen", "Elle" and many more international magazines. As an internationally acclaimed cover girl, her fashionable Mod image helped to set the standards of 1960s style and beauty. As a popular cover girl, and one of the favorite models of fashion and beauty icons Betsey Johnson and Vidal Sassoon, Morand was one of the first American models booked from New York to model for the French haute couture. She arrived in Paris under contract to Paris Planning, part of a business partnership with the Ford Agency. She walked the runways of Cardin, Couregges, Ungaro and Patou and other top European designers. As one of the most celebrated mannequins in Europe, she decided to remain in Paris to continue her education at the Sorbonne and study the languages of Western Europe. Laurence Harvey and Prince Albrecht von Liechtenstein were two of her noted suitors.
