I totally agree with you! Perfect clothes and makeup.
The Gianfranco Ferrè era at Dior is really incredible.
I think exactly like that, Natalia exhales Haute Couture. Her height, walking, it all combines so much. Goddess! ❤

Thanks again for sharing so many rare and beautiful images. I loved them all! Especially those of Jean Paul Gaultier HC Fall 2000 and Michael Kors Spring 2000. And Balmain HC Fall 2000 that I had never seen before, it was a beautiful surprise. 👏🏻❤🙏🏻

You're very welcome! I also found images of Natalia for Balmain HC Spring 2000 and Philip Treacy HC Spring 200 and I will post them soon.

Speaking of Gianfranco Ferre's Dior. There are some pictures on Gettyimages.com of very young Natalia and it said they are from Dior's backstage circa 1994 (when Ferre still was designing for Dior). Did Natalia walk any of the Ferre's shows? Do you know anything about it, Pedro? 🙄

Por falar no Dior de Gianfranco Ferre. Existem algumas fotos no Gettyimages.com da muito jovem Natalia e dizem que são dos bastidores da Dior por volta de 1994 (quando Ferre ainda estava desenhando para a Dior). Natalia participou de algum show do Ferre? Você sabe alguma coisa sobre isso, Pedro? 🙄
Oh! I'm anxious to seeing the images from Philip Treacy and Balmain's shows. 🥰❤
Yes, I saw these images of her behind the scenes. Christian Dior Spring Summer 1995 show took place on October 11, 1994, and Natalia had just turned 15, and according to European law, she could not work as a model until she was 16 years old.
That is why the planned participation in his first fashion show, for Christian Dior (by Gianfranco Ferré), had to be canceled. However, Ferrè decided to give Natalia a small gift and put her on the front row, where all VIP's usually sit. Beside her was Sophia Loren. (See the pic of them behind the scenes).

Thank you for your answer, Pedro. That was an interesting fact. 🤗 I wonder when this law came to force because as far as I know both models Krissy Taylor and Gianne Albertoni started doing fashion shows in Milan while being only 14-15 (Krissy was 14 when she walked for Fendi and Gianne was 15 when she walked for Versace).

I also don't know when that law came into force. But I have heard that in France you can parade from 16 and in Italy from 13/14 (in short periods).
By the way, Gianne Albertoni walked for Versace Fall Winter 1995 (March 7, 1995), she was born on July 5, 1981, she was just 13 years old (very young).
And this show is really new for me, I didn't know that Natalia had participated in it. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻❤ I loved!
