Eleanor lambert model - ELEANOR LAMBERT: EMPRESS OF SEVENTH AVENUE — ALAN ROSENBERG/CURATOR

I wanted to concentrate more on her accomplishments and how her motivation and point of view helped bring American fashion to the forefront.

Lambert got her start by writing for the Village Voice before being brought onto the writing team at Teen Vogue and Vice, per the New York Post.

But in the context of the times, in her day, she was the only fashion publicist, and she wielded a lot of influence because she really was one of a kind.

The meaning of her name Eleanor in Hebrew means 'God is my light' or 'God is candle'.
