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.

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…
