Black fashion models broke racial barriers in the sixties and the seventies, but Hispanic models opened a few doors in that period as well. One notable Hispanic model of the time was Laura Alvarez.
As a Latina, she helped make "exotic" looks all the more desirable.

Hi!
I love your blog.
I'm curious to know which country from Latin America was she from?
Thank you!
Best,
