Her international career started in the early 1960s in Florence. Soon she became the world’s first supermodel — the term was coined for her specifically. She made her first artistic attempts beside Salvador Dali, whom she assisted during a sculpture performance in 1963. In 1966, she appeared on the big screen in Antonioni’s ‘Blow-up’, in the famous photo session scene, where she played herself. In the early 1970s, she teamed up with Holger Trülzsch, giving up her modelling career and focusing on visual arts.
