Wonderful pics, I do remembr when we all did contact test prints for all the shots in a 35mm or 6x6 (Hasselblad 500ELM) roll and then tried to figure out what deserved to be printed in a better format... awesome! Thanks Stefano

Between 1990 and 1996 as a pro journalist (not in the fashion business) I stayed often in Milano and Paris for professional reasons and I couldn't notice that everything there was 'Claudia'. Magazine covers with her face were the norm, and much more relevant than today's Vogue decisions. She was the face of fashion and the other 4 were way beyond in popular recognition. So much that the leading Ford stylists (J Mays for example) used her as a paradigm of beauty. Gen Z journos know nothing of the vibe that Caludia evoked in those two fashion capital cities and unable/unwilling to read, for the example, the Guinness Book of Records. Probably the wholesome, no-drugs, no-alcohol style of Claudia do not sit well with a generation used to glorify 'bad girls'. This said, I love the other legendary models as well. Cheers Stefano

Well said. Claudia was way bigger than any of her 'big five' colleauges, by a long way... so Vogue's treatment of her was and still is shameful. Stefano

Hello, I think that Claudia was incredibly beautiful these days but the staging was awful and the pictures are a waste of her beauty, that's why, I think, she almost never smiles. She famously wore rubber boots during the walk in the Fontana di Trevi... something that Anita Ekberg obviously didn't do. My opinion is that any other photographer would have done better as Claudia was so beautiful.... and Rome, stunning. I don't know what they could do nowadays, I'm not much interested in today's anorexic, angry-looking, never smiling models. Claudia was almost always flashing a captivating smile, that's why I adore her and why I despise this photo set. I'm sure that others will love it, of course. Cheers to you all! S

While I hate this one. Claudia smoking? (Almost) never smiling? Rubber boots in Fontana di Trevi? Come on....

She's absultely stunning here.... Classy, smiling, sexy. A masterpiece of feminine beauty 😍

When wearing furs was socially acceptable (for me, it would still be...) and ohmyGod how good Claudia looked in those sumptuous Fendi minks... Cheers everybody

Hello, are you sure that this is Claudia? 😏 She doesn't look like her. Cheers Stefano
