  1. This photo was taken in the Paris studio of Avedon.
    Hiroko was discovered by Pierre Cardin in 1960 during a trip to Japan. He fell in love with her look and asked her to come back with him to Paris. She became the first Japanese top model in Paris.
    She retired from modeling in 1967 to marry Henry Berghauer, who was the Head of the Pierre Cardin group and CEO of Hervé Léger.
