  1. I was agreeing that the model on the Anna cover and the two Elle covers look like the same model- I'm pretty sure none of the covers are Nastassja Kinski though...If she's not Inna, than I don't know her name.
  2. @Martial THANK YOU for your help! Will you look at this page at my 2 posts for ID at the page bottom? Please?
  3. YES that's her- nice match! I think I have an image or two of her in my clippings- we should get her a thread up!
  4. For sure yes...Amazing work on these @RocketQueen!!
  5. The cover that I posted of her is for the German company Etiene Aigner's catalog, photographed in New York for a publication sold in Japan. Hahhaa...I think that answers that question.

  17. She is one of the very first models that I collected her photos, and she remains in my very top favorite models ever!! Linda Spierings is an international fashion model that worked professionally in the 1980s & 90s and was represented by Ulla (Amsterdam), de Boekers (Amsterdam) and is currently still modeling with Paparazzi Model Management (Amsterdam)! "Linda Spierings: a woman with a remarkable character and a revolutionary face. Embarking on her career in the 80s, she worked with many notable photographers; amongst them Irving Penn, who bestowed upon her the personal nickname of ‘Radar’. On top of that, Linda was the face of the first ever Comme des Garçons campaign. You were actually studying Special Education? Indeed! But I was always fascinated by how other people looked. At that time I had never walked on heels before! Maybe it was very interesting that I wasn’t so much aware of how I looked. If I didn’t work in fashion, I would have worked with children. I am still sometimes volunteering. Becoming a fashion model was very much by chance. I did a few shows in Amsterdam, then a dear friend, Frans Ankoné, asked me to work with him. Afterwards I was asked to come to Paris for the shows. I did 15 shows that first season. What a wonderful first season! Yes it was! I remember it was fun at Karl Lagerfeld; a lucid mind he is, with such humour! Mr. Lagerfeld said to me: “You know Linda, all the girls in the show are having a short haircut, so are you willing to cut your hair?” I looked at his long hair and responded: “No problem Mister Lagerfeld, I’ll cut my hair if you cut yours”. We had to laugh so much; he decided I was the only girl in the show with long hair. Your look was very new for the 80s right? The beauty ideal was indeed very different then. There were blondes and brunettes, very European, sometimes a black model, but even back than that was still very difficult. My look was very much in between; people didn’t really know what to do with me. The first photographer I worked with was Peter Lindbergh. He didn’t really like my book so he asked me to work with him. With Peter I also did the first Comme des Garçons campaign in 1982. How was it to work on set? I remember my first job for Vogue very well. It was with Polly Mellen and Irving Penn. I was twenty years old. Polly; all that energy, leaving nothing to chance. Irving Penn was an artist with more than the one talent, like many other talented people, I must say. He spoke with a very soft voice and always asked his assistants to tell the models how he wanted them to pose. It was all about details. I was always able to hear him so I’d change my hand before the assistant reached me, that’s why he nicknamed me: Radar. Can you say fashion changed your life? Becoming a model turned my life around 180 degrees. Fashion itself has not changed me so much. What changed is the way I am looking at myself now; how I look in a picture, how the images surprise me afterwards. It is the amazing cross-pollination I’ve experienced. The people I have met, the journeys I’ve been on. The ones that are still my friends today. Why did you actually join this project? I looked at the clothes, I thought; he dares to make a statement. For me it is not about having a great image of myself, I just really liked to join! It was the same for Azzedine, I also didn’t know how it would develop. To see the clothes, that was enough. I believe support is very important. Over the years I got a lot of support myself and sometimes, when you believe in something, you need to give it back."

  20. Okay, so @ArianaVSCouture in this batch I also do not have the fashion designer because it's all in Japanese and I can't read it!! All of these images are from a Japanese Marie Claire from July 1989, However all the images below are shows in Barcelona, Spain. I know a few model's names and those are included in the file name.

  21. @RocketQueen this is the same model in Dolly that you posted...I can't wait until we get her name.
  22. I agree!!
  23. Omg! It totally is! Thanks @RocketQueen!!
  24. Hi @Albatrosdu17! They do look alike, but in this case it's not her. Only because Brooke is a model that ended up doing tons of commercials on television (in the U.S.). For some years she was everywhere on T.V. so I know her face pretty well. Thank you so much for the suggestion!!!
