The American National Exhibition in Moscow, a presentation of New York’s, Fashion Industries would take Jacqueline to the bustling city of Moscow, Russia. As an African American model in the then Soviet Union, her national and international fame grew. Articles about her appeared in The New York Times, Life Magazine, Pittsburgh Courier, Ebony Magazine, Sepia Magazine, Time Magazine, Paris Match and many other publications, touting Jacqueline as a stunning model bringing her American charm to Russian audiences.
After her successful return to New York City, she signed with the Grace del Marco Agency where she worked with many photographers including Hiro the world famous fashion photographer from Japan. Hiro’s photograph of Jacqueline appeared in the Sunday Magazine Section of The New York Times making Jacqueline the first African American female model to appear in that highly esteemed publication. Many other modeling assignments followed, including her classic album cover for pianist Red Garland’s, “The Nearness of You,” now also in CD format.
Jacqueline designs a jewelry line and as a scholarship winner to the Arts Students League, in New York, she is also an artist. A native New Yorker who presently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, Jacqueline is the mother of three children and the grandmother of four.visualizza meno
