A former Ford model has brought thousands of the Twentieth Century's most beautiful and iconic fashion and beauty images to light. It began when Linda Morand, a painter and writer, began posting stories and pictures from her private blog "Diary of a Mod Model", written in New York, London and Paris in the Sixties.

The confidential "members only" underground website has attracted many former supermodels and top photographers who have scanned their favorite images from fading magazines and sent them to Morand, who had them restored and posted online, resulting in this ever-growing archive of over 21,000 images of supermodels, top models, designers, beauty artists, photographers, editors and agents of the past six decades.

Scores of long-lost fashion industry friends have been reunited, forming an exciting emerging community and a lively discussion group of peers and like-minded people. She has the help of six "Senior Editors" who regularly contribute restorations and scans of many images that have not been seen in forty years or more. 

The group's efforts have inspired museum exhibits, books, documentaries, magazine layouts and several models reunions around the country.
