Models from the Eighties

^Beautiful. This thread needed some Talisa love.

Surely you remember that video of Robert Palmer:"Addicted to Love"with Talisa Soto and Julia Bolino...

Yup. I love the song, and the video itself is so deliciously 80s.

Carol Wilson.

I´m sorry, I don´t have much material from her, however, I know she participated in many fashion shows during the second half of the 80´s, and I remember seeing her in fashion editorials as well (especially in L´Officiel).

Thanks everyone for all the scans/pics.

Carol modeled a lot for Mugler well into the 90s.

Good eye, spiral! Carol's features are captivating... looks like a comic book villain or Pre-Raphaelite muse, regardless. Another beauty from the 80´s: Kim Williams.

Kisses

Kim was gorgeous. Exotic.

Anne Marie Kertula with Tyen,versatile artist, photographer and creative director of Dior Make-Up--ph:Claus Wickrath

^I loved Tyen as a photographer, with the way he would use his knowledge of stage lighting to give his photos a dramatic effect

^Tyen seems to favor strong contrasts of light and plain backgrounds.Photographers and makeup artists usually have a sensitivity similar to the painters .Tyen developed a passion for the alchemy of light and colours: "Every photographer has his light just as each season has its own. Light, because of its varied tonalities, is the ideal accomplice for make-up”, he explains. (Dior.com)

"Special Nightwear Valentino" Spring/Summer 1984

The master

Very good inputs, guys!!!

Some of the models mentioned above after a fashion show of Oscar de la Renta (80´s)... Marpessa Hennink Challa, Iman Abdulmajid, Gail Elliott, Dalma Collado, etc.

[indeed, I thought that maybe it would be nice to create a directory or index with the threads of all models of the eighties that exist in BZ, so, who don´t know (e.g., not knowing their names), could go to them (I think many people miss these threads through unawareness and these are very interesting). What do you think? Do you think that would be useful?]

Hugs!
