GOALEN Barbara (Model)

The archetypal 1950s aloof and haughty mannequin, the well-bred Goalen was chauffeur-driven to the assignments in a Rolls-Royce. Careful to protect her image, she said, "I always did high fashion and I never touched anything that wasn't high quality". The photographer Henry Clarke said, "You put the dress on Barbara and she made it sing". At one time she was almost exclusively photographed by John French and was Coffin's favourite model. She was the first British model to be sent to the Paris shows by British Vogue. At the height of her fame, she toured Australia and was mobbed in the North of England. Like many models in the 1950s, she married well _ to Lloyd's underwriter Nigel Campbell. Her hips were too slender for sample sizes, so she rarely did catwalk modelling. She only worked for five years, before retiring while still very much in demand.
