veruschka is my beauty icon. i am not even sure if there's a model today that can compare...doubtful. and that makes me sad. my mother always mentioned veruschka. and i have had the pleasure of flipping through my mom's old vogues to admire some of veruschka's stunning work. but it was only till i got a hold of this letter she wrote to glamour magazine (?) in 1967 that i absolutely fell in love.

*the scanned images above are from my mother's pile o treasures...and more specifically the photos of veruschka were photographed by franco rubartelli.
