Oh I see, so nothing above-average, actually.....I would have expected more (but obviously there is a little bit bias in my judgment
)
Well, she remains one of the most important Spanish models of all time, but the business has changed, now they are much younger and anonymous girls occupying the fashion shows, these girls also have a less powerful, more diluted.
Other important Spanish models in the nineties were Laura Ponte (Vasari, Extè, Loewe, etc) and Nieves Álvarez (she participated in many haute couture fashion shows of Yves Saint Laurent).

... Before I forgot to mention the great Helena Barquilla, born in 1971 (Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana, Vivienne Westwood, Christian Dior, Prada, Escada, etc).

Majorities don't usually have taste. Inés Sastre's fame is ridiculously microscopic compared to how special she is. ![]()

Don't expect majorities to agree with you if you have taste. ![]()

It´s true, worshipper pa, if we consider that the canon of modern beauty are represented by Natasha Poly or Karlie Kloss
, I also prefer the beauty of Inés.

¡Qué! All this talk of Spanish modles an no mention of Almudena Fernandez? (my favorite) I'm devastated. :shock:

Much beyond sheer beauty, and as you were pointing very rightly in a previous post, those type of young models do not express anything (I mean: they tell you absolutely no story) - just interchangeable and evanescent dummies.
I understand that Lancome after I. Rossellini and I. Sastre, is struggling to compensate on that point (probably they will never manage to get back to such a high degree).
Best and sorry if repost,

The problem, Provolone, is that, surely, having beautiful or very beautiful women, companies prefer to opt for innocuous/anodine or tortured beauty, like Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander (I have nothing against her, care). But the eternal feminine, to me, is something else.

No that was not my point - I was just referring to brand essence. Rossellini and Sastre did 1) convey something and 2) this something very much in accordance with the DNA of Lancôme. Those two girls did more for this company than many many talented marketers. and not for nothing did Lindsay-Jones regularly meet with both - beyond being very fond of cute girls :evil: :evil: - : he was knowing very well what the EPS of L'Oreal owed them. Nor for no reason had they such a long contract.
Not so for their pale followers (do not convey anything).
