She was discovered in Marbella aged 16 by the American-Spanish socialite and CIA spy Countess Aileen de Romanones, who arranged for American photographer Henry Clarke to photograph Susy for the cover of American Vogue. Susy then embarked on a whirlwind 'Jet Set' lifestyle during the 1970s, and became a favourite model for Yves Saint Laurent Armani, Karl Lagerfeld and Isse Miyake, as well as appearing several times in French Vogue. Susy appeared on the bottle of Karl Lagerfeld's perfume Chloe, and she starred in Fendi's short fashion film 'L'Histoire De L'Eau', which was filmed amongst many famous Roman landmarks. Susy spent much of this time in Paris, and was based in her apartment on the Quai D'Orsay, overlooking the Seine. It was in this apartment that she was photographed by Helmut Newton for his book 'Nuits Blanches'. Susy has also appeared in Anna Piaggi's 'Lagerfeld Sketchbook' and Carlo Ducci's Assouline published 'Fendi Roma'. Her society friends included the British actress Deborah Kerr; the German playboy and heir to the Opel Car business, Gunter Sachs and the record mogul boss of A&M records, Gil Friesen. One of her closest companions and confidents was Count Frédéric Chandon de Briailles, chairman of the Moët-Hennessy group and heir to the Moët & Chandon champagne fortune. Both Count Frédéric and Susy were avid patrons of the artist jewellery atelier, Rene Boivin, whose designs and mastery of the jeweller's craft they both deeply admired.
