I must admit, I’ve never really understood the whole Veruschka ‘thing’. I mean, clearly she’s never encountered the ugly stick in her life but I find her looks to be a bit….well……blahhhhhh. I like unusual, quirky looking people and she is frequently described as ‘amazonian’ and exotic but I simply cannot understand or see this.
Anyway, I slightly changed my mind when I saw this gorgeous spread in The Telegraph Magazine (something of a Seventies boutique bible at times) from 1972. Touted as “The price of looking like Veruschka is less than you think” and showing her in inexpensive British Boutique clothes, she actually looks quite cute for once…..and I really love the background of Woburn Abbey.
The front cover in a Jeff Banks smock is my joint favourite with the window shot of her in Bus Stop cheesecloth. But they’re all pretty fabulous……enjoy!!

I love the pedal pushers-they look great!
You never liked her in the amazing safari looks with her long, long legs?
Green tights – ha!
Loving the green tights indeed!! The Antony Price pedal pushers are gorgeous. The Issey ones remind me of a pair of Mr Freedoms I have!Wendy – no, for some reason she bores me a bit. I’m not even sure I can put my finger on quite why….just a personal preference I guess!
These photos are fantastic! I wish I could find that cheesecloth dress…
I know what you mean, she’s ot that Teutonic look which I find a bit bland.
