OMG! Can we talk about MsCOLE? Her body of work is exceptional. The supermodel’s supermodel long before the moniker was invented. Underrated is not a descriptive that old fashion stylists from the way back would suggest for her career. Sonia was a staple, a fixture, an essential, on every catwalk,for every designer of the day. Sonia, and all the other exquisite girls of that period before the Glamazons appeared , several seen with her in these clips, were so elegant and outstanding they didn’t require a signature walk…a signature anything. They had the essential:QUALITY! They were trained in the craft so extremely well they could make RTW seem like haute couture. And they knew how to shine. Sonia was so stunning a professional words escape me.
Sonia Cole Berry, a British model who walked for almost every designer at the time. With her runway buddy, the late Anne Fiona Scolley (rip) they turned, twirled, posed, in unison. Sonia's walk is perfection to me, a little patent with the out turned arms, but some of the best execution of manipulating the garments to their best advantage.
