Naomi Sims was the first African American Model to cover a major magazine (Ladies' Home Journal 1968) and is also disputed as The First Black Supermodel. Naomi has graced the runways of Halston and was photographed and interview by acclaimed artist Andy Warhol. Though Naomi was a face of the late sixties and early seventies, many of her pictures are very relevant today due to her modern look. Ms. Sims died of breast cancer August 2009. She will forever be accredited to paving the way for supermodels who have gained overwhelming notoriety in today's fashion industry. Pop the top to see more pics of Ms. Sims...
