Liz
Campbell (model)
The girl
modeling the brilliantly colored clothes on these pages is 23-year-old Liz
Campbell, daughter of famous American cartoonist E. Simms Campbell. Liz is new
to the ranks of U.S. models, partly because she has been living and working in
Europe and partly because she is a Negro—one of a few who are finally breaking
into the world of high fashion modeling.
Ever since
Paris succumbed to the lure of the East a decade ago, Oriental, Eurasian and
American Negro models have been popular in the top fashion houses of Europe,
where their lush coloring and dramatic features enhanced the bold colors and
rich fabrics increasingly favored by designers. Despite their European success,
Negro models were limited in the U.S. to modeling for Negro magazines and
fashion stores, with rare appearances in an integrated show.
One barrier
fell recently when Negro girls began to appear as house models in the elite
salons of New York’s top-flight designers. Still to be won is acceptance in the
tougher —and more lucrative—field of fashion photography; but a lovely pioneer
in the breakthrough of beauty is Liz Campbell, who shows off some of America’s
exotic styles.
