¡Qué! All this talk of Spanish modles an no mention of Almudena Fernandez? (my favorite) I'm devastated. :shock: Well, B&O Railroad, to make it up to a picture of Almudena also made ​​Outumuro. Accept my apologies

Majorities don't usually have taste. Inés Sastre's fame is ridiculously microscopic compared to how special she is. Don't expect majorities to agree with you if you have taste. It´s true, worshipper pa, if we consider that the canon of modern beauty are represented by Natasha Poly or Karlie Kloss , I also prefer the beauty of Inés. - Madrid, 2002. Ph.: Manuel Outumuro.

I don´t know if they were... Source: Corbis.

... Before I forgot to mention the great Helena Barquilla, born in 1971 (Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana, Vivienne Westwood, Christian Dior, Prada, Escada, etc).

Well, she remains one of the most important Spanish models of all time, but the business has changed, now they are much younger and anonymous girls occupying the fashion shows, these girls also have a less powerful, more diluted. Other important Spanish models in the nineties were Laura Ponte (Vasari, Extè, Loewe, etc) and Nieves Álvarez (she participated in many haute couture fashion shows of Yves Saint Laurent).

1) Is she still very much bankable today ? Well, maybe she can be the image of today's most exclusive products, reserved for more affluent audience (Tag Heuer, Tiffany & Co, Bally, Pirelli pneumatic ...). She represents a solid image, but focused on a more mature audience. 2) And in the past (1990+), was she really considered to be above all other Spanish model (eg, as the "face" of Spain, or even as a kind of "unofficial" ambassador of the country) ? Or just being one among many other famous models in the country ? No, she had a strong international image through the mid-nineties, in my opinion, then replaced it in that aspect Esther Cañadas (multimillion-dollar contract with Donna Karan, Vogue Italia editorials, prêt-à-porter and haute couture fashion shows in Milan and Paris, etc), and to a lesser extent, Eugenia Silva (Oscar de la Renta, Carrera & Carrera, Givenchy perfume, etc). After the last two have been Marina Pérez (infinity of international fashion shows) and Jon Kortajarena (Tom Ford in particular). But, as with the covers of Anna Wintour´s Vogue, the actresses have become the new "voices of glamour", and if so, to whom more has been promoted in at that point ("official ambassador") has been to Penélope Cruz.

very interesting. Do you have more informations or images of catalog Bauwelt 1988? Hi, lucien44! Not a good image quality, but everything I found (I think it appears in the SUMO: Claudia with the saw). The other pic I've seen for the catalog Bauwelt found in this same forum (Helmut offering candy to Claudia). The photos were made ​​in Vienna. Claudia was seventeen years and was one of her earlier works more or less relevant. From what I've read, the models who participated in the catalog were not paid for their work, only received a copy of her photographs signed by Helmut. He was inspired by the movie M (Fritz Lang, 1931) to create the catalog. thanks a lot, prejean, I know the image together with newton, the other picture is new for me. Another image of the Bauwelt catalog:

And what is Sastre's status today in Spain ? Is she regarded as something special, or just another cover girl with very long lifetime ? Well, Provolone, in general, she enjoys of a good reputation at professional level: she has had a long-lived career, an important contract dilated in time (Lancôme), shares star (as the Pirelli calendar with Avedon)... Let's say there are two factions, one that appreciates she as a professional model and a more insidious (and nosy and intrusive) that judges Inés as a public figure (though somehow exiled) and speculates about her sentimental life, her alleged affair with wealthy men, and so on. Overall, I would say that Inés has a professional reputation in Spain, she´s a good publicity gimmick, with a trajectory. Then there´s the approach of Inés in private to the right social cliques, but that, in my opinion, is another matter. A Spanish journalist, Jesús Rodríguez, three years ago wrote a sketch about Inés in the book El club de las mujeres ambiciosas (The club of ambitious women (2009)): her chapter entitled Inés Sastre: la modelo cerebral (Inés Sastre: The brain model). I haven´t read, so I can not say in the matter.

Wonderful site, Sheila! Thank you very much. What a great job! Congratulations! It´s true that Claudia and Newton didn´t work much (or not so much as their fans would have liked), but there are images from the catalog Bauwelt 1988, the Max calendar 1995, the campaign for Il Marchese Coccapani... Images show that their collaboration together gave great results. Greetings !

The truth is that both Inés as Judit Mascó became the ambassadors of the Spanish beauty in the early nineties (Seville Universal Exhibition, Barcelona Olympic Games...). They both occupied a number of covers and editorials in Spanish publications. Before them, Violeta Sánchez (muse of Helmut Newton and Yves Saint Laurent) or (image of Opium perfume in the eighties) had open season, but only knew them a very specific audience. Inés was a kind of Lolita -cet obscur objet du désir - and Judit representing a type of healthy and sexy girl. But have spent so many years that it´s very difficult to find material of that time. Many regards to ALL !

Hi to everyone! Do any of you keeps the Mario Testino first session (I think) shot Claudia? (went to the Mango catalog, Fall/Winter 1993). Thanks in advance !

To my knowledge, @spiralshaman, is the only photo that H. Newton shot to Linda. I have never found any photoshoot of him meeting with her, except this. Regards !

Yes, @viola0605, it's super hard to find this image in high quality -may be in the Epica Book - 7th (or 8th) Annual European Advertising (unfortunately out of print) -. I love it .

Interesting theory, #Provolone, before the university made ​​don´t we both go to college as now, that seems to go to a Victoria's Secret fashion show instead of to faculty to study (at least this is so in Spain, especially in some career). I think Inés is a bit "parodied" herself with her cameo in the movie "Sabrina" (1995), appearing sideways on the terrace of a cafe in Paris. She always radiated a special light.

In the picture, Inés with Enrique del Pozo (Spanish singer) at the gala "Por fin, 1992" filmed in Lloret de Mar. @Cositas, I read that you attend at the Expo´92: I still remember when TV broadcast a catwalk, I think in the Italian pavilion (the stage mimicked the steps of the Piazza di Spagna, Rome), which included Monica Bellucci, Marpessa Hennink and Inés Sastre (apparently also were Karen Mulder, Carla Bruni, Claudia Mason and Yasmin Le Bon, though I don´t remember... I think the clothing that was exhibited by Giorgio Armani, among other designers). I even remember the music that rang during the show, Ain't No Sunshine (When She's Gone), of Bill Withers. She looked so young there!

Maverick 85, you´re welcome ! (by the way, Inés´s gorgeous in that pic). - Telva (Spain), december 1994.
