Model Lana Ogilvie

Lana Ogilvie is not an African-American model.

She's from Toronto.

That means she's an African-Canadian.


Silly PC labels aside, Lana Ogilvie is one of the most legendary black models - no, one of the most legendary models regardless of color - of the eighties and nineties. She became the first black woman to have an exclusive contract with Cover Girl cosmetics, and she's also done ads for everyone from Banana Republic to Victoria's Secret.

She's also written two children's books, and she is a co-host for "The Review" on the Fashion Television Channel in Toronto.
