I've accumulated so many pictures of Beverly Johnson that, despite having featured her here so often - the two most recent times were just this past February (in a picture from an Avon catalog with Kim Alexis) and in December 2017 - it seems only natural to feature her here for a whole week. After all, she was one of the first models I ever had a crush on. :-)
By the time these two black and white photos were taken in 1980, Ms. Johnson had already made history be becoming the first black model to appear on the cover of the American edition of Vogue and having appeared on several magazine covers and in numerous fashion editorials by then. But in 1980, she was only 28 (do the math to figure out her current age), with many more years ahead of her to make more history.
And she certainly made history here with these two lovely photos.
The photo immediately above, from September 1980, shows Ms. Johnson at her most exquisitely elegant.
