I agree with both of you. The past is indeed always mythical, but also the fashion industry became extremely watered-down (compared to how it used to be) and there's definitely an overexposure to fashion these days. And, the corporate acquisition of the prominent fashion houses was the probably one of the worst things to happen to those houses, as in many cases it cheapened their image. Anyway, thanks for all the pics.

Fantastic editorial. I had no idea she was going to be in a W editorial. Thanks for all the pics, Tito.

Pre-haircut Kristen was very pretty. Quite a contrast from the androgynous no-eyebrows look she adopted in the early 90s. The guy with her is a very young Tanel Bedrossiantz, who still models in Gaultier fashion shows these days. I love this comment Tanel made about fashion shows in the 80s compared to fashion shows today: ”In the 80s fashion shows were much more festive, much more fun, much more friendly… fashion show rooms were huge, many people came without invitation, you knew someone to let you go in. They were big parades with sometimes fifty models. There was often hysteria in the room, people whistled and shouted for joy… Now it is much more traditional, models one hardly knows, fashion shows last 15 minutes, people in the room has the air of boredom, sends messages with their mobile phones and the whole world is gone in 10 minutes… The Magic, the Madness of the major fashion shows is lost.”

^Never seen before. Thank you.

She's a beauty, and has a great body for a gymnast. I loved her floor exercise at this year's Olympics, and she should've won gold for that.

There's a thread for 90s models. Many of those girls weren't 80s models.
