As an artist and photographer all my life, one of my favorite fashion models from years past was Tatjana Patitz.
She was one of the elite crew of original supermodels from the 80s and 90s. I was always mesmerized by her wide, expansive eyes, with those hooded lids that hid and revealed so much at the same time.
She passed away yesterday at the age of 56 of breast cancer. Now that I am in my late 60s I look at anyone dying in their 50s and 60s as having died way too young. Peace to her and her family.
Here is a selection of photos from her career.
