Design moguls: Where are they now?
Kathy Ireland was scouted at 16 years old and has been featured on the cover of Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Forbes. Between 1985 and 2009, she appeared in a number of movies and TV productions. Her most notable role was as Wanda Saknussemm on Alien from L.A.. Since a guest appearance on Family Guy, she hasn’t appeared in any productions and there is no indication that she will.
She has since expanded her brand through numerous partnerships. The most notable partnership was with Kmart who sold socks that had Ireland’s name embroidered on them. She received a portion of the sales. She also designed a collection of wedding gowns and other clothing for special occasions. Her projects have made one of the wealthiest retired models in the entire world.
