Whenever a top model talks food and fitness, we listen. When 62-year-old Beverly Johnson does it? We take copious notes.
As one of the original 1970s supermodels, Johnson cemented her place in the fashion hall of fame by becoming the first African-American model to appear on the cover of Vogue in 1974, and then made history again as the first black woman to front Elle France the following year. Oh, and the New York Times named this beauty one of the most influential people in the industry.
Now—with over 500 magazines covers to her credit—Johnson’s documenting what life’s like as one of the fashion’s biggest game-changers with a new book, The Face That Changed It All: A Memoir, which hits bookstores today.
To celebrate, we couldn’t wait to add this icon to our growing of list of beautiful, strong women of all ages who share a page from their daily food and fitness routine. Here’s what she came back with, so read on and take note.
