Sims, sometimes dubbed the first black supermodel, died of cancer Saturday 1 August in Newark, New Jersey, the New York Times and TheFashionInsider.com reported.

Born in racially segregated Mississippi in 1949, Sims made history in August 1967 as the first black model on the cover of Fashion of the Times, a supplement to the New York Times.

She scored another first when she made the cover of Ladies Home Journal and went on to feature on the covers of Life Magazine and Cosmopolitan.

"Thanks to her proven personal initiatives as a true pioneer, she succeeded in creating a real place for black women in the modeling industry," said Marcellous Jones, chief editor at TheFashionInsider.com.
