Robin Osler is a model from the seventies and eighties who worked with many fashion designers. She eventually established herself in a different sort of design field after her modeling career ended.
She worked in Europe through various agencies in Paris and Zurich, as well as in America with Elite Runway in New York. Among the designers she worked with were Thierry Mugler and Gianni Versace.
Her poses were always classy and dignified, as both of these color photos prove.

When her career was over, though, Robin Osler followed in the footsteps of members of her family and became an architect. Her grandfather Emil Lorch founded the University of Michigan's School of Architecture. Her great-uncle George Elmslie was a leading figure in the Midwestern-based Prairie School style of American architecture, which also included Frank Lloyd Wright, and her own father, David Osler, was a successful architect himself.
Robin Osler (above, in her current career) is a 1987 graduate of the University of Virginia with a B.S. degree in architecture - yes, she modeled her way through college - and she earned her master's degree in architecture from Yale in 1990. She's now one of the top architects in New York.
Her firm, Elmslie Osler Associates, has some incredible examples of work to boast about. You can see them, and learn more about Robin Osler, at her firm's Web site.
