American Goddess: Jean Patchett

About the productJapanese

This book looks back on the career of fashion model Jean Patchett while also allowing you to enjoy the fashion of the 1950s.

Jean Patchett, a fashion model active mainly in the 1950s, is one of the icons of this era.
This is also evident in the fact that during her 14-year career as a model, she has appeared on the covers of over 58 magazines, including fashion magazines.
In particular, her two covers for Vogue, one by Irving Blumenfeld and the other by Irving Penn, are famous as representative covers of the magazine.

About one-third of the book is a biography that reveals her personality, including letters from her that describe her struggles as a girl from the suburbs of an American city in the fashion world at the height of Paris haute couture, and anecdotes from famous photographers such as Cecil Beaton and William Helburn who praised her not only for her beauty but also for her skills as a model. The remaining pages look back on her career as a model with plenty of photographs.

While learning about her history, the 120 images allow you to experience the elegant fashion of the 1950s, which remains an object of admiration even today.
