Avant-garde designer Giorgio Sant’Angelo and supermodel Veruschka at a downtown party. New York City, 1972.
“Veruschka was one of the first or perhaps even the first supermodel.
She was stunning and sultry and oh so tall. She and avant-garde
designer Giorgio d'Sant Angelo were at a downtown party sitting in a
corner when I arrived. Giorgio, who I had photographed several times,
saw me and beckoned me over to sit with them. Giorgio was so full of
energy and Veruschka was so serene—complete opposites, and yet, they
complemented each other nicely.”
