Jean Patchett

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean Ward Patchett Auer (February 16, 1926 – January 22, 2002) was a leading American fashion model of the late 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s. She was among the best known models of that era, which included Dovima, Dorian Leigh, Suzy Parker, Evelyn Tripp and Lisa Fonssagrives. Patchett was the subject of two of Vogue Magazine's most famous covers, both shot in 1950 by Erwin Blumenfeld and Irving Penn. She was famous for being one of the first high-fashion models to appear remote; previously, models had appeared warm and friendly. Irving Penn described her as "a young American goddess in Paris couture".

During her career, she appeared on over 40 magazine covers. Patchett modeled for brands including Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel and Revlon.

A rescue from an estate in Metro Detroit…. 

 

My mother was an Instructor / Professor (Asst?) at Michigan State College (now University – MSU) in the 1940’s… taught textiles / fashion / retailing / Home Economics and these Vogues descended in the family…  so, 70 +/- years in deep storage…
