I have no words to describe her beauty! What a woman, what a career! Thank you, @fumi!

This one is backstage from Donna Karan Fall 1992 show. The rest is new to me too. Thank you!

@specdude Posted a video sometime ago now that showed a lot of rarely seen photos. I wish there were more new photos. The thread feels almost exhausted now - as if we've all collectively found everything. 😒

I think that the biggest problem is that while Gail was a well-known model during the late 80s/early 90s, she never had the kind of coverage or exposure that some of the others did. She never became a celebrity like Claudia, Christy and a couple of others. Look on YouTube, there are practically no videos whatsoever of her outside of catwalk show appearances.

@fumi, I think it's because Gail kinda had a "clean image". She didn't do nudity, she didn't have a close friendship with the well-known designers, for example Naomi and Gianni, Stephanie and Alaia, Claudia and Karl or Kate and Galliano, wasn't photographed drunk at the parties with other models, she also didn't have a famous boyfriend or didn't hook up with a rock-star, well-known actor or politician. People always loved scandals, but she wasn't involved in any of them. Maybe that's why she never had an exposure the others had. She kinda reminds me of Valeria Mazza (another girl, who I love to bits), who was a model for Versace, VS and Sports Illustrated, but was branded Claudia's look-a-like and never had a coverage Claudia had. Yes, Gail never became a celebrity like Linda, Naomi or Christy or even her bestie Yasmin Le Bon, but her career spanned a period of 24 years and she is still around doing the designs for her clothing label, unlike Linda, Karen or Yasmeen, who were such the huge names and completely disappeared from the public eye or fashion scene.

@ArianaVSCouture That third shot from Spring 1990 is very lovely.
