Dovima

Dorothy Virginia Margaret Juba (December 11, 1927 – May 3, 1990), later known as Dorothy Horan, and best known as Dovima, was a model during the 1950s.

Last monday I went to BRACKWELL'S ART AND POSTER SHOP, and then I watched this beautiful woman in a artbook which name is"Vogue" Model: The Faces of Fashion by Robin Derrick and Robin Muir. When I saw her first, I can't take my eyes off this model of legend. she has very attractive face. I like so much her's dramatic eyes makeup. she looks like really elegant woman . So i'm colleting some her's pic.

“She was the last of the great elegant, aristocratic beauties…the most remarkable and unconventional beauty of her time.”
