Yes, this is the ad. However, I don't think it's Roberta because I don't recall having seen Roberta in a Moschino ad, whereas Violetta was a Moschino muse.

It´s true, spiralshaman, Violetta has the ability to be on the side of high culture and experimental avant-garde at a time. She´s very classy.

I have the full editorial of the picture from L'Officiel. I will post it sometime this weekend.

Violetta by Javier Vallhonrat, for Jesús del Pozo. (1988).

In this video, it appears some campaigns and catalogs that Violetta did with Javier and Jesús, in the 80's. Someone knows if there are images of that?
