Lisa Fonssagrives (May 17, 1911 – February 4, 1992), born Lisa Bernstone in Sweden, was a fashion model credited by some as the first supermodel. Her image appeared on the cover of many magazines during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, from Town & Country, Life, and the original Vanity Fair. She moved from Sweden to Paris to train for ballet. Fonssagrives once described herself as a "good clothes hanger". She worked with fashion photographers including George Hoyningen-Huene, Man Ray, Horst, Erwin Blumenfeld, George Platt Lynes, Richard Avedon, and Edgar de Evia. She married Parisian photographer Fernand Fonssagrives in 1935; they divorced and she later married another photographer, Irving Penn, in 1950.
