EVELYN KUHN

Evelyn Kuhn (born ca.1946 as Evelyn Kühn) is a former German topmodel that was active between ca.1965 and the 1980s. In around 1970 Evelyn was seen as financially most successful model of the time being the the very first multi-year Revlon contract model. She appeared on the cover of US Vogue 3 times within a very short period of time. Officially Evelyn was discovered by Eileen Ford herself on the streets of Berlin way back in 1966. When looking at the timeline of her publications then it is getting clear that she must have already existed as a local Berlin-based model in 1966 and already graced German magazine covers at the time - and still under her real name Evelyn Kühn.

Eileen Ford asked her to come to NY to join Ford Models in 1966 and Evelyn became an instant hit among high end US clients. 3 US Vogue covers rolled in fast and Evelyn quickly became a favorite of Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Bert Stern and other top photographers.
