Poison Ad 1985 - Who is the model (it is for sure NOT Isabell Adjani)

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I've been researching the original 1986 Poison by Christian Dior advertising campaign and I'm trying to identify the model featured in it. Several sources suggest it was Tatjana Patitz, but I haven't been able to find a definitive confirmation or primary source to back this up.

Does anyone have solid evidence — such as a magazine credit, a photographer's archive, a tearsheet with a caption, or any other primary source — that confirms (or contradicts) her involvement in this campaign?

I'm particularly interested in the iconic shots showing the model holding the deep purple apple-shaped bottles, as well as the black-and-white editorial images that appear to be from the same era.

Any help, leads, or references would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance
