Born in Newark, New Jersey, Norma Jean Darden enrolled at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York where she graduated with her B.A. degree in liberal arts in 1961. Coupling the Sarah Lawrence motto of wisdom and understanding with classic elegance, Darden entered the world of modeling while still a student. ⁣⁣
By 1973, she had joined a select group of 11 models chosen for the historic Models of Versailles show in Paris. The show featured a collective of African American models bringing diversity to European fashion houses and runways. ⁣⁣

Having earned modeling representation with the exclusive Wilhelmina Agency, couture model Norma Jean Darden worked the runway for fashion icons like Anne Klein, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren. Darden also graced the covers of fashion magazines such as Bazaar, Glamour, Mademoiselle and Vogue during her modeling career. ⁣⁣
⁣
After a medical condition forced her to leave the runway, Darden and her sister Carole launched a catering company and opened a Harlem-based restaurant, Spoonbread, Inc. On the heels of its success, the sisters co-wrote a cookbook drawing upon their family’s Southern recipes, Spoonbread & Strawberry Wine: Recipes and Reminiscences of a Family. #HiddenHerstory #SmithsonianStrut ⁣⁣
