At a time
when models were what magazine covers were all about and when models were
indeed the high-water mark of beauty there was one of the unsung heroes, well
heroines, well hero person ... She
painted ( like a Renaissance portraitist) the faces of some of the world’s most
beautiful women. When I say painted, it is to say that Sandy Linter made the
plain … beautiful, the beautiful … exquisite and the exquisite … masterpieces.
Ms. Linter’s
resume reads like a who’s who of fashion when it comes to publications, photographers,
stylists, colleagues, advertisers and editors. Her “canvasses” included the
greats and legends of modelling and she has created some of the most memorable
and iconic countenances that ever graced a magazine page. Let’s just say that
to name names would be absurd as then there would be no space for the article
and would seem like a terminal case of braggadocio.
Sandy is an
enduring presence (Lancôme
Beauty at Every Age spokesperson) in the world of fashion and make up and continues to dazzle
us on a regular basis within all media , so rather than gush any further I
present to you... Sandy Linter … legend of fashion.
