#TBT Janice Dickinson: The Seventies Supermodel's 6 Memorable Looks in Vogue
We dipped into the archives to rediscover the woman who helped define the seventies.
Before she was making tabloid and news headlines, Janice Dickinson, a transplanted Floridian with bee-stung lips, was a regular in the pages of Vogue posing for the likes of Arthur Elgort, Richard Avedon—who told Dickinson her eyes were “like liquid pools"—and Bob Richardson. As fashion fetishizes the seventies, we dip into the archives to discover the woman whose exotic looks helped define that disco-frenzied era.
Photographed by Irving Penn, Vogue, November 19761/6“Growing up, I felt like some kind of alien,” Dickinson told Vogue in 2002. “I didn t really look like anyone, not even the members of my own family. I had big, bee-stung lips, which I was teased about at school.”
Photographed by Bob Richardson, Vogue, February 19762/6“Bob Richardson s pictures were great . . . with a relaxed, outdoor spirit and the energy of the seventies before the disco era.”
