Between 1959 and 1962, I did several trips to New York, where I rented a daylight studio and worked first for GLAMOUR, then for HARPER'S BAZAAR. Every day, several models would come on "go-see" to my studio, and be only too glad to pose for test-shots. Donyel Luna (this may not have been her real name, but it certainly fitted her strange elegance) was one of the first black models to gain acceptance from agencies and magazines. I would have liked to photograph her for GLAMOUR, and did these tests-shots in the hope of persuading the art director - but the only reply I got was a shrugging of shoulders. (A few years later GLAMOUR changed its policy, to the point of making it a rule to show black girls on one cover out of four.)
