Bill King (1939–1987) - Monika Schnarre

Fashion photograph by Bill King, a recognized figure in American editorial photography, whose work has notably been published in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Seventeen. This portrait of Monika Schnarre is associated with the article “Global Girl,” published in U.S. Magazine on March 10, 1986. At only 14 years old, the Canadian model won that same year the Ford Models Supermodel of the World contest, which marked the beginning of her international rise. This vintage press print features pencil annotations and framing indications in the margins, bearing witness to its editorial context. A typed label bears the mention “Supermodel of the World 1986.” A fashion photography document from the 1980s linking Bill King’s work to the early international career of Monika Schnarre.
