Lauren Hutton is looking back at her legendary career. The model reflected to Harper’s Bazaar about being naive in the mid- ’60s as she started her career as a model. “When I moved to New York and became a model, I didn’t know anything about the industry.

I worked hard. But by 1972, there weren’t many of us models left. All the big girls like Veruschka, Twiggy, and Jean Shrimpton had basically split,” Hutton continued.
