Supermodel Sara Kapp

Sara Kapp is a model who may not be a household name to many, but to insiders in the modeling trade, she's just as big a star as Naomi Campbell or Cindy Crawford.



Ms. Kapp was at the height of her career in the seventies and the eighties, appearing in ads for clothing and cosmetics.


She was also a huge favorite in runway shows, as the picture below indicates.


In the 1980s, Sara Kapp was the exclusive model for the Princess Marcella Borghese cosmetics brand, and her face appeared in numerous upscale department stores as a result. The pictures at the Borghese counter were enlarged and back-illuminated like photos at any other cosmetics counter, but Sara Kapp didn't need any of that to appear larger than life. She already was. :-)

    She is stunning. I happen to know her in person, she is also a very kind and nice person. I love when appearance matches personality

  4. Sara was one of the first Practioners of Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche I met when I was introduced to the Dharma. We became Friends & Sara became a guiding & inspiring influence spiritually. Sara's true Beauty is her compassionate Nature & elegant Spirit - her openness and generosity is unparalleled.

    It was Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche who told Sara Kapp that she should become a model. She was his girlfriend at the time.

    Trungpa Rinpoche told her it was ok to become a model, but she wasn’t his girlfriend. She lived at his meditation center tail of the tiger in Vermont at the time.

    I worked with Sara in the 80’s. She was close to the very talented photographer/ pal Scott Heiser. I’ve lost track of her, sadly.

  9. I was able to get in touch with her several months ago. She has a Facebook account but rarely goes on it and never posts anything on it because she doesn't want to go down the rabbit hole of social media.
