COP11 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Dovima was born Dorothy Virginia Margaret Juba on December 11, 1927. She was later known as Dorothy Horan. Born in New York City, she was discovered by an editor at Vogue. Her most famous photo "Dovima with the Elephants"was taken by Richard Avedon. The gown she wore in that photo was the first evening dress designed for Christian Dior by his new assistant at that time, Yves St. Laurent. She died of liver cancer on May 3, 1990 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
