W.O.W! Working Out With Beri Smither

 

PHOTOGRAPHS BY MICHAEL WILLIAMS
 

I first met Beri Smither in the summer of 1992 on the Italian island of Pantelleria, located in the Mediterranean sea between Sicily and Tunisia. I was there for the month of June working for photographer Fabrizio Ferri as his personal trainer. Beri was there as a model for Allure magazine, being photographed by Fabrizio on one of the shoots that happened during the month. Different crews for different magazines would come to Pantelleria every few days to shoot with Fabrizio in this breathtaking location. We all stayed together on the rustic but spectacular grounds of his compound known as Monastero. It was one of the most fun times of my life.

Beri was one of the biggest models in the 1990’s, and worked with the most influential fashion photographers in the business like Steven Meisel, Peter Lindbergh, Patrick Demarchelier, Arthur Elgort, and Steven Klein, just to name a few. She appeared on the pages of countless fashion magazines that included American Vogue, British Vogue, Italian Vogue, French Vogue, Elle, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan — on many of those covers too – and was also the face of iconic fashion and fragrance campaigns. And Beri is still working today.

Beri and I ran into each other on the street a few months ago having not seen each other in over 30 years. We got together for lunch and started talking about STYLE of SPORT. Would she want to do a W.O.W! Working Out With feature I asked. As a model still going strong at age 53, I wanted to know how she has stayed looking so great, and what has been the key to her longevity in the very fickle fashion business. Read More
