During Jean's heyday her accomplishments became legendary, as she was one of the most recognizable and popular models in American fashion couture.
The October, 1950 issue of Vogue Magazine featured Jean Patchett not just on its cover, but on many pages of the feature section! In this publication there were five full page illustrations, 3 partial page illustrations, and 4 full page advertisements! The number and frequency of Jean's appearances in fashion magazines was amazing. She had become the center of fashion photography, and was in great demand. Jean Patchett was referred to as the "Queen of Fashion Inc." by fashion editors and photographers during this decade.
"An absolutely stunning creature with a signature beauty mark, Jean was a super model decades before the term 'super model' was coined, and, staggeringly, has had more covers than any fashion model in history," Said agency owner Jerry Ford of Ford Models, who represented Jean in her heyday during the Fifties. "Jean Patchett was to Ford what Babe Ruth was to the Yankees."
Jean's distinct features helped define the face of fashion for over a decade, the body of work she did is enormous, and the legacy she and fashion photographers created together is monumental. Jean Patchett was prolific, her date book documented numerous photo sessions each day in New York. The camera loved Jean and Jean loved the camera.
