Gurmit Kaur (who is of Indian decent from Singapore and was a regular on the YSL, Lacroix and Chanel catwalks in the 90s) source Born in a small Malay village outside of Singapore where she studied sculpture ... Gurmit left home at the age of nineteen to escape an arranged marriage. She then found herself in Brussels where she studied jewelry and met Belgium's leading sculptor Olivier Strebelle. On a trip to Paris Gurmit was discovered by Yves St. Laurent, who then launched her career as a model. Gurmit then moved to Paris and walked the runways for the most distinguished couturiers, ranging from Karl Lagerfeld to Versace and Christian Lacroix. After modeling for 5 years, in the mid 1990's Gurmit put her Runway career on pause to complete her jewelry studies in Brussels. She has since exhibited her jewelry and sculpture around the globe from Italy to Paris, Belgium, Holland, and Tokyo. Gurmit's influences for her designs are nature (the jungle, the beach and the forest), fashion, fine art and even mathematics. Gurmit's results are a collection where each design is as individual as the flowers found in The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. source "Don't you have any jewellery in the collection ?" Those were Gurmit's first words to me when she came to model for me. I told her I didn't need any, because they (the models) were my favourite jewellery. Then I recall Gurmit launching out onto the catwalk. She was radiant and full of fire. On her third run, she took a hairbrush with her as an accessory, hooking it under her belt. Now I see that she already undulated like the jewellery she would create. Her work is in her image: supple, sensuous, voluptuous. Precious materials coiling around the body. Rings becoming arabesques. Necklaces entwining with pleasure. Every woman will find a piece she fancies.- Azzedine Alaïa November 1996Photo(w/nudity)

Yes! Just my kind of Model! THANKS

She is just so incredibly beautiful. THANK YOU! Dayrell! I saw this picture and thought of Grace Kelly in this photo They look so much alike!

THANKS~! SHe's Too Gorgeous! scanned by lindaleeartistt on BWgreyscale

Confused about why I said Trashy? I just think that a little leopard goes a long way...and some people wear it better than others. I like to see someone more demure wearing such a wild print, that's all. But I still love to see it no matter what~~~THANKs for all the leopard!

Beautiful

Glad you got my pm dayR...and Ophelia--thanks for stopping by!

^Trashy. But Thanks!

Very True. I remember a cover of Yamila (maybe Shape or SI magazine) from around 2003 (?) in a striped Bikini that made my heart skip a bit.

Still gorgeous. THANKS!~Kukim

Thanks Adeline, your avatar makes me hungry.

I like Yamila--but she never disappeared! Just didn't do high fashion. I loved Nina Brosch, and found some recent photos of her that I put on her page. She sort of reminds me of Brandi Quinones. They seem kind of unstable and troubled--so that might have something to do with their disappearance. (Brandi Quinones is one of the fashion world's greatest losses as well--of course she's still alive, so thank God for that.) Amit Matchinger was also very interesting-looking. I have this of her:
