WORLD OF DIFFERENCE - THE MODELS (1978)
First transmitted in 1978, this programme looks at the differences between modelling in the 1940s and 50's compared to the 1970s.
Providing insights into the different eras are Cherry Marshall and Sarah Grant.
Cherry Marshall became a household name in the 1950s, as the house model for Susan Small, a leading name in ready-to-wear fashion. She established the Cherry Marshall Model Agency and managed such figures as Vidal Sassoon, Patti Boyd, the actress Suzi Kendall and the models Pat Booth, Grace Coddington, Paulene Stone and Brenda Walker.
Australian model Sarah Grant is a catwalk veteran, who has been modelling since she was 16. She is still modelling, and a recent catwalk appearance was walking for Chanel in 2011, at the age of 60.
