Rosi Riedl

BlueAcadia · July 6, 2021

Rosi Riedl is an Aussie/Austrian fashion model that worked professionally during the 1990s and is one of the famous and popular Dolly Magazine (Australia) cover girls. Today she is both the business and life partner of art collector and cultural entrepreneur Stefan Simchowitz and together they have a child.

"On arrival, I was greeted by Simchowitz’s partner in both life and business, Rosi Riedl, a tall, silver-haired former model — one prominent curator dismissed her as “a Bond girl” — with a strong will and a buoyant disposition. Riedl was born in Austria but moved at age 12 to Australia, where her family lived on a sheep farm. (“Her family has no money,” Simchowitz later confided. “They had to eat their own sheep.”) When she was 21, she moved to Los Angeles, where she met Simchowitz on a beach. They married within two years and divorced within seven, but following the divorce they continued to live together and eventually had a child. “It was all Stefan-style, so nothing happened very politely,” Riedl said as she escorted me into a garage that had been converted into an art-market command center manned by additional beautiful women."
