The Beauty of Retrospect: Margrit Ramme

I'm always happy to revisit Margrit Ramme, a model from Germany and a dear friend of mine, who was one of the top models of the seventies and eighties.  Her looks were often compared to the legendary actress Jean Harlow, but even Harlow wouldn't have dared to strike such a provocative pose like this.


This photo is from a 1973 ad promoting the designer Halston's line of clothes made from the fabric Herculon II, which was apparently a revolutionary textile then. Halston certainly put it to good use in producing a sexy black dress like this.  And no one was more suited to sport it than Margrit Ramme.

Even the rose she holds is wilting in the aura of her presence. :-D :-)
