Yes, I guess it´s an inaprehensible concept, emotion or feeling, however, I love your description («... I guess everybody having looked at such a painting can only remain deeply shocked, and wants to be a better person after »). Stendhal Syndrome (not in a medical sense, but ethical and aesthetic).

Yes, @Provolone, I understand your concept of Inés as a philosophical idea, like for example, Griet in Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier. An idea of sweetness, innocence, mundane and supreme beauty at once, youth and candor... as Botticelli's Venus or Dante's Francesca... the idea of ​​classical beauty embodied in one physical.

It's like a relentless search for beauty, beauty that comforts the spirit, the fleeting instant frozen forever, encapsulated... Fashion magazines for me as a child/teenager was an escape and a refuge (aesthetic stimuli could find around me seemed very grotty)... then I couldn´t share my hobby with anyone, not even with my friends, who didn´t understand. Same thing happened to me with readings, music, film... Thanks to the internet we can get those moments. My first fashion magazine "hard" was a Spanish Vogue with Linda on the cover (the image of my avatar): was a real breath of fresh air. After that, I "lived" with much enthusiasm fashion. Treasures you have stored, @Cositas. I, for example, love the pictures of Peter Lindbergh made ​​in the late eighties (Linda, Kristen McMenamy, Kirsten Owen, Cordula Reyer, Marie Sophie Wilson-Carr, Lynne Koester, Charlotte Lewis...). Ads for Comme des Garçons, Mariella Burani, etc... Poetic neo-expressionism! Left (cover): Blanco y Negro, november 1989 Right (clipping): Ragazza (Spain), january 1993

Alberto Aspesi Spring/Summer 1988: Linda in Palm Springs (CA), by Peter Lindbergh.

«Wow, girls ! - I did not know one could take it so seriously about magazines !» Well, lol, isn´t taken seriously, at least in my case is like a hobby, I always liked fashion and photography (fashion and in general), and like some people, for example, collect stamps, model airplanes or whatever, there are people who like all the "sociological" and cultural fashion -"Fashion isn´t confined to clothes. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what´s happening", Coco Chanel-. This is how I conceive it personally. Big kiss, Provolone - ELLE Spain, november 1996 (I think the pics are from Paco Navarro).

«ahh, ok, I like very much to scan and after upload my material but the fact is that i only collect paper stuff» I wish I would have done the same as you, but back then I was embarrassed "maul" magazines... until by vicissitudes of life had to leave them gradually undoing... What makes me angry bigger! The paper has a special "mystique", it's true: it´s able to transport you to a particular moment in your past life in a snap. So I feel fortunate to have "lived" the era of the supermodels... wonderful productions, high creativity, beautiful compositions... set in the retina. Linda's work is a last. ¡Saludos !

@Cositas, I have no problem with sharing, the problem is that, as I said, I have virtually all my digital files (ie, in format .JPEG), so I keep little physical format (paper). You asked for photographers, models, eds, etc., and I will look if I have it and upload. No problem. Some pics of Inés: - "Moda Italia" magazine, july 1994. Ph.: Ferdinando Scianna. Many thanks / Muchísimas gracias

Yes, the truth´s that to be the worldwide image of a house Lancôme cosmetics as the appearance of your skin isn´t the height ... remain despite a young woman (37 years), I don´t know, our grandmothers and our mothers to retain enviable skin by age 60 (I promise I will not exaggerate), skin treated only with water and soap ... amazes me that people who have access to more sophisticated beauty treatments and also live not retain their image as good complexion. I don´t know, for example, when Isabella Rossellini Lancôme retired at age 41, she still maintained an amazing charm (in the picture, frame of Immortal Beloved (1994)). «... ha perdido absolutamente toda la frescura de cuando era joven y su expresión es algo lastimosa, sin fuerza ni dulzura, ha perdido todo el charming de antaño». I noticed especially this who comment on her appearance in the Fashion's Nigth Out in Paris I don´t know what may be... but it certainly has slowed as a model. It doesn´t help that his film career has been anecdotal and forgettable. In any case, I wish the best for her, of course. «¿haces intercambio de material?» You mean the exchange of material of S. Meisel? Well, I hope your answer. Steven's still a very smart guy, but it's true he have lost the fresh audacity that made ​​him so charismatic as a photographer, constantly innovating and going one step ahead of other colleagues (with permission of Helmut Newton). Now it seems that he has taken to self-plagiarism, a pity. @Provolone: Very nice photo of Inés when she was little. She, rather than a Vermeer model reminds me of a woman of Spanish painter Julio Romero de Torres. However, considering possible follow similar... Some pictures: Blanco y Negro, 17 january 1993.

A big kiss

Hola, @cositas, lo de Weber es muy cierto, de traca... las últimas campañas para Moncler con los perros embutidos en plumones; todo el rollo homoerótico teen (que está muy bien, ojo), pero que, como bien dices, lo ha sobreexplotado hasta la extenuación... Y claro, a estas alturas ya no cuela. La sesión con Lindbergh, sin maquillaje, no la he visto... solo la campaña que fotografió para Tiffany & Co. con Patrick Wilson, una campaña enteramente enfocada al público estadounidense (parecían fotogramas de The Family Man (2000), jeje...). Inés, de joven, tenía un rostro hipnótico... unas redondeces faciales muy bonitas, fotogénicas. Eso, unido a su racialidad y timidez, pues creaban un conjunto con mucho gancho. Ahora luce un aspecto aburguesado, aunque, a su manera, da la impresión de que ha hecho con su vida lo que le ha dado la gana (por supuesto es una impresión personal, sin otro fundamento que la mera observación), y muy bien por ella. Lo de las revistas españolas, con la Carbo, Echevarría y demás... pues patético, no sé a quién pretenden engañar, presentándolas al público como la quintaesencia del estilo... enga, per favore... a otro mono con esos plátanos. Desempolvar poco... desgraciadamente. Tras varias limpiezas y mudanzas, lamentablemente me deshice de muchas revistas que hoy, quién sabe, podría ofertar a precio de oro en ebay. ¿Quién podía imaginar la revalorización que experimentarían dada la mediocridad revisteril de hoy en día? vogue.it sube imágenes muy chulas de editoriales pasados, aunque en baja resolución. La creatividad de Meisel parece fatigada, trata de acometer su antepenúltimo tour de force con cada nuevo editorial, pero no acaba de lograrlo. A pesar de ello, nos ha regalado imágenes icónicas, hay que reconocérselo.

Pronovias autumn/winter 1991/92. Ph.: A. Bernad.

Pronovias spring/summer 1991. Photo: Antoni Bernad. Inés must have 17 or 18 years when Bernard took these photographs. @Provolone: Je suis absolument d'accord avec vous I think that if she hadn´t had an exclusive contract with Lancôme perhaps could have fit perfectly as the face of Chanel or Valentino, possibilities of course hardly be realized.

You're absolutely right, Provolone, I understand what you mean: photo shoots of questionable taste (eg: ), senseless exploitation of latin myth (Elle Spain, october 2010), emulating divas like María Félix or Sophia Loren, etc... Is a pity that Inés no contact now with good fashion production equipment. She has memorable images, like those of Avedon, Weber, Comte, Max Mara catalog... Her naturalness and freshness were her greatest asset... qualities that seem to have disappeared. - Spanish edition of Elite Model Look 1992 contest organized by the Spanish magazine Ragazza: Inés (she was sworn in this issue) with John Casablancas, Nieves Álvarez and Eugenia Silva (ex aequo winners). - With Kim Rossi Stuart in Beyond the Clouds (1995) - The Pirelli Calendar 1997, Women of the World, signed by Richard Avedon (left: El País Semanal cover, december 1996).

@Provolone: Oh, I didn´t know that photos of Trésor (Lancôme) were Bettina Rheims (good fact). Yes, I understand your perception, and of course share it. It's inevitable physical toll to pay time and experience. By the way, lovely cover of Blanco & Negro A hug! Photos from Rolling Stone (Spain), august 2000 & GQ (Spain), october 2003.
