This is wonderful seeing all these old pictures! I had no idea how much I liked older models/magazines/photography.  I only know of current/semi current models. 

was she a big model for her day? I see she has 32 pages.

In certain shots, she reminds me of Alexandra Tikerpuu, who I really like. 

thank you all for uploading content.

Roberta she is from Pittsburgh(Pennsylvania).Her first job was in her high school years in the summer of 1983 for "Seventeen" magazine (Her Model agency in USA was THE FORDS)but she started modelling overall in Europe by her agency KARIN MODELS (U.K and Germany in catalogs,Lifestyle and teens magazines by shootings and covers)but she rose to prominence in 1986-87 in two magazines that were key to her success: "GRAZIA" magazine in Italy and "ELLE" in France and Spain.SHE WAS VERY,VERY OFTEN IN THEIR ISSUES,ROBERTA APPEARED IN A LOT OF THEM

She also worked in USA overall in Mademoiselle,ELLE a little bit in VOGUE and other magazines(IN FASHION,MODEL,HAMPTONS,TAXI.etc..) and Catalogs by Bloomingdale's,Spiegel,Neiman Marcus,Dillard's,etc...but her job in Europe(fashion magazines+advertisings for top brands like Christian Dior,VALENTINO,ESCADA,Iceberg,alain manoukian,LANGE,Planet,I BLUES,Louis Féraud,TRUSSARDI,Laurél,GIANNA CASSOLI,etc...just mentioning a few of a lot of them)WAS PRETTY,PRETTY BIG AND AMAZING!!

Roberta Chirko alongside of Renee Simonsen,Paulina Porizkova and Yasmin Le Bon were supermodels very famous and populars in 80's.

I am from a suburb of Pittsburgh!!!! lived here all my life and still live here! I wonder if my parents ever met/knew her? They would've been in their 20s in the 80s.

 

thanks for all the information! that was great to read. I am really enjoying her work, and I can see from you posted that she got a lot of amazing work.
