Did you know there is "Members of Mélange", which produces fashion events? http://membersofmelange.com/

If you missed it, Zeki Triko, the swimwear catalog, has a nice Pinterest account, and a gallery with Niki: http://www.pinterest.com/zekionline/1991-niki-taylor/ (There are some models incorrectly tagged as Niki!)

on firstView's blog: Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 1998 http://firstview.com/blog/flashback-fridays-jean-paul-gaultier-spring-1998/ and John Galliano Fall 1997 http://firstview.com/blog/flashback-fridays-john-galliano-fall-1997/

Yes, it's a great photo isn't it? Wish there were more. Yes, the year sort of throws me. With Kate and Shalom, I thought it was maybe ~'95?, as you say. But then Linda and Niki, it looks so early and '95 too late. Though '91 is probably too early, you're right.

If you missed it, a photographer's contact sheet is for sale on eBay US: on eBay and link features nudity http://www.ebay.com/itm/NUDE-PETER-BASCH-CONTACT-SHEET-PHOTOGRAPH-EROTIC-SUPERMODEL-CARMEN-DELLOREFICE-/231195845703

yes, to me, also a little like (former Guess model) Shana Zadrick?

Such a shame her concert stop here was cancelled. http://events.sfgate.com/san_francisco_ca/events/show/361549403-cancelled-carla-bruni

What I meant was, her shots were so great on her own, she didn't need to be in SI; it was like she was her own SI. Your right; most of her SI stuff isn't as good as her calendars. The girl I really thought SI did a disappointing job with was Rebecca Romijn. These SI shots of Niki are pretty good, IMO: Sorry, didn't mean to sound like I was disagreeing. Understood what you meant, just went off on a tangent (about SI). About Rebecca Romijn. I thought Glaviano's stuff (in the '96 mag issue) was good though. If you do like Rebecca, the 1996 Softkey SI calendar pack has a lot with her. She's on the box cover, and then also in the movie files. In '95, SI put her together with Angie Everhart and Walter Iooss Jr. In '96, it's Ingrid Seynhaeve and Marco Glaviano. Can try a search here. And there's one of the '96 Softkey packs on eBay (US) right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIP-Sports-Illustrated-1996-Supermodel-Swimsuit-Calendar-Rebecca-Romijn-Stamos-/111342831503?pt=Vintage_Sports_Memorabilia&hash=item19ec8cc78f $0.01 with $4 shipping for that is a bargain.

She had four calendars (at least?), in a market space competing against models like Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour, Christy Turlington, Daniella Pestova, Kathy Ireland, etc. And then there's all the swimsuit brand calendars like Splash/Ujena, and on and on. It's a market space that doesn't (didn't) lack for competition. You don't do four swimsuit calendars if they're not successful. It's interesting you mention "SI", because I always think of her SI stuff as a bit disappointing. D'Orazio is (obviously) a good photographer, but her stuff in SI, fine but unmemorable. Her own calendars, with Renard, are much better. And that outtake is a photo from Renard.

May 1994. Would be interesting to know why they preferred the one they used, and didn't choose this one.

yes, uncropped version of the '89 Jul calendar month was posted in this thread by séve. different than what ran in SI mag issue or the calendar. post #902: http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/7551-estelle-lefebure/page-46#entry2655758 always interesting to see how editors crop shots!

^ Yes, first image is inside front cover. Then, months of March and July. The physical July calendar page/photo is slightly larger, uncropped. That photo also ran in the '88 mag issue, across p 92-93, with a tighter crop.

Swimsuits: Julie is also the cover for the very rare Jacques Malignon Made In New York 1984 calendar (also with Kelly Emberg, Joan Severance, Carrie Nygren, a quite young Kathy Ireland, Iman, and so on). If you missed it, one of these is on eBay right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251484575025 Very rare. We didn't even know there was a 1983 version. Released with a slightly different cover again for '84.

If you missed it, a rare FBS catalog on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-FBS-French-Boot-Shop-like-Avon-Fashions-Fall-1980-supermodel-Kelly-Emberg-/231153213891 Good deal for somebody at $6.50. Another FBS (without Kelly) sold for $255! http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-1982-FBS-like-Avon-Fashions-supermodel-swimsuit-sheer-lingerie-Phoebe-Cates-/321343782100?nma=true&si=yNQ7SgCANZdRuL%252BuFO1uUGyXRSU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Yes, concur. Trish Goff & Vendela Kirsebom. Kudos to you for contacting the company and trying to get the info!

Yasmeen is the TOC for the 1997 SISE mag issue (Tyra Banks cover, 21 Feb). Plus a supplement pic in the Mar 97 SI magazine issue, in "Letters". She is also in the 98 SI wall and desk calendars (both with Niki Taylor on the cover): 6 pages in the desk calendar. Can try a search here. She's also featured in Beauty Flash, by Stephane Marais, her shot listed as 1997. That's a fun book, but can be quite pricey in the second-hand market!

Vanity Fair article & video about their current cover: http://video.vanityfair.com/watch/cover-photo-shoots-jimmy-fallon-hits-the-streets-with-bikini-clad-supermodels

The current print issue of Vanity Fair has a nice article about 50 years of SISE. There's an online gallery on their site, here with one of Stephanie that we don't think was in any of the mag issues or calendars. Possibly the same suit is p.248 of the 89 mag issue ?, but not this shot. http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2014/02/models-swimsuit-photos-sports-illustrated-archive_slideshow_item13_14 matching p 248 of the 1989 SISE ?
