Crossing Atlantic
Part ot Work of
Fashion Designer
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -Lean,
sensuous Mimi London
jetted home from Europe for
the holidays thinking no more
of distance than any young
woman who commutes from the
suburbs.
Mimi is a top fashion model
In New York and Paris, and
traveling back and forth is part
of her exciting, but exhausting
work week.
As the daughter of the keeper
of one of San Francisco's fan
ciest hotels, she started her
career as a mannequin in the
Bay City. Three years aeo
Mimi walked into a San Fran
cisco modeling agency and ask-1
ed, "Will you give me a ,
chance?" She got it, and soon,
became an established local fa-
' vorite. J
Moved Eastward I
When the excitement of high !
fashion life on the west coasts
' dimmed, Mimi decided to move j
on to New York, where a top
model earns $60 an hour, com- j
pared with San Francisco's $20-1
$25.
Agents Jerry and Leslie Ford i
who started Suzy Parker on
'. her famed career accepted
her as a client. Mimi modeled
at style shows and before cam
eras, and before long took the
'.fashion center by storm.
So popular is she today that
Mimi no longer does fashion
shows, but limits her jobs strict
ly to modeling for photogra
phers. But she doesn't mind
traveling. A typical month will
include flights to Paris, Ham
burg and Berlin, as well as pos
ing in New York.
She says she finds plenty of
variety in her work, and smiles
at the difference between being
a photographer's mannequin in
New York and Paris.
"In New York you work 10
a.m. to 5 p.m.," she said, "but
if you're in demand in Paris,
hours are never normal. Col
lections are photographed right
after the season's opening shows
for privileged buyers and the
press. The designs still can't be
seen publicly, because they '
. might be stolen. j
Taken in Secrecy
"So they put them on us at;
3 a.m. and by 4 a.m., swathed
in a huge sheet, you're in a
park, on a boulevard or wher
ever, having your picture taken
in cloak and dagger secrecy."
Mimi plans to return to the
world of expensive furs, clothes
and jewelry after the Christmas
holidays, and will probably work
in New York "at least long
enough to bankroll another Eu
ropean fling."
Where does she want to go
in Europe next time? "German
models are the rage in New
York now," she said, "so may
be I should be sort of a recip
rocal lend lease."
