Supermodel Naomi Sims died cancer on Saturday in Newark, NJ. She was 61.
She was considered by most to be the “first black supermodel” after appearing on the cover of Ladies Home Journal in November 1968.
For five years she walked the runways for Halston, Fernando Sánchez, Teal Traina, and Giorgio di Sant’Angelo before retiring to start her own multimillion-dollar wig-making business that specialized in wigs for black women. She also wrote books on beauty and modeling.
