Throwback - Kristen McMenamy

Posted by Khola Waddy-Jones on March 28, 2012 at 9:26am

When Kristen McMenamy first started modeling in 1985, she was considered a rare bird, 'The Androgynous Model.' Some didn't know quite what to do with her. But Peter Lindbergh and Steven Meisel certainly did, shooting her for French and Italian Vogue respectively.

Kristen went on to become the face of Bally, Fendi, Chanel, Versace and Calvin Klein ad campaigns as well as walk in shows like Jean Paul Gaultier, Dior, Givenchy and Ungaro.

In 1993, Kristen famously shaved off her eyebrows which according to NY Magazine, created a booking frenzy.

Today, Kristen stills models and continues to hold her own....even up against fellow icon Naomi.
