It was 1958, and the publishers were saying, "We can't put this girl in the magazine.
Avedon declared that she was "probably the most beautiful woman in the world." His photographs of her were the ones used in the February 1959 issue of Harper's Bazaar.
They divorced in 1965, after Machado had an affair with a friend of her husband's. Machado and LaSalle had two daughters, Blanche and Emmanuelle. The couple eventually settled in New York City where Machado met Diana Vreeland and through Vreeland, Richard Avedon, with whom she developed a very close friendship and called a "great mentor in her life". Nonetheless, for a year during their courtship, she left him for the Oscar-winning actor William Holden, returning to LaSalle to marry him. In 1957, she married the actor Martin LaSalle, the son of a diplomat, and a student of political science at the Sorbonne, whom she met in Paris. She worked for Givenchy for three years and during this time, she became the highest-paid runway model in Europe, earning $1,000 a day. She later worked for Oleg Cassini and Balenciaga. At the end of the show, gorgeous Givenchy comes up to me and says, "Would you like to be in the cabine?" - that's what they called the group of models who worked for the house. I barely knew anything about walking like a model, so I just copied the girl in front of me. They thought I was filling-in for a sick girl, so they grabbed me, put me in clothes, and threw me into the room where they were showing the collection. Īccording to Machado, she was asked to model for Balenciaga, but he was out of town, so they sent her to Givenchy instead. When the relationship ended, Machado moved to Paris and found work modelling for Hubert de Givenchy. At the age of 19, she met the Spanish bullfighter, Luis Miguel Dominguín. After World War II, her family traveled to Argentina, Peru and Spain.
