Susanne Schöneborn, the German model who was featured on eight American Vogue covers, has died.
April 15, 1970
Sun-loving and of a bright disposition, Schöneborn faced her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer with a fortitude and bravery that’s consistent with her parents’ legacy. The model was the daughter of a German doctor father and a Jewish Hungarian mother who survived World War II apart and were later able to reunite in Germany and raise their three children in Frankfurt.
The youngest of the siblings, Schöneborn was born in West Berlin, on April 5, 1943, and moved to Paris to pursue modeling at the age of 20, working first for Marc Bohan at Christian Dior before becoming a house model for Coco Chanel herself. She met Menna, who was also a model, on a shoot and they lived together in New York where their daughter Alexandra—who kindly provided the biographical information for this piece—was born in 1975.
