Alexjc Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 This stunner of an Elancyl ad came out just as I was hitting manhood...enough said. Anyway by the 90s supermodel era I begin to think it was Estelle? But now I'm not sure. The pose, swimsuit shape and face really got my er attention. Who is she?

modelknowledge Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't thinks its her because I don't remember her having a hairstyle like that. It could be but I am not certain. I would post this at Fashionspot. They have a lot more older members there who would remember if this was her or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks for that...I believe it's Rachel Williams, (that big long ponytail of hair pulled down her lefthand side) - most likely as she did an Elancyl campainge around 1986-89. The face is young and fresh so to speak...The body shape seems to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexjc Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks for the help everyone, will use the resources you have guided me to...I homed in on Rachel as she was an Elancyl model around this time - and Estelle for her promenence in this era. I'm wondering if she could be an early Karen Mulder?Great self imposed assignment to prove a point to a colleague......and all this because I said to friends that the 80s-90s Supermodel Era was far better than whats out there today. I'm so glad I was around for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelknowledge Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 i posted this is in the fashionspot. Rachel didn't have hair that short during that time frame. Short hair for models wasn't too big during that time. It was big in the early 1980s in the US market but not the French market. Lots of American agencies were sending their more feminine types to France during this era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexjc Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Wow...Thanks Guys and Gals. Pretty much come to the conclusion it's Jo Kelly as well. The slick back hair gives it away which was her style at the time...(guttered that it wasn't Rachel though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
