@SariGolino I found this one from my old scanner. It may have been posted before but I've retouched it anyway. Also, I'll redo the Ports photos as when I originally had them from you, I only posted iPhone shots.

 

300 PPI. 11.8MB

 

Here is the catalog off ebay fwiw

Do you have the rest of the shots from it?

I need some links.

Are those new images really 1983? I didn't think she started until 85. She looks amazing.

Those posts are old. The ebay auctions are gone.

I found those 1983 photos on pinterest and the poster is a bit sketchy on reliability.

@fumi, she did start around 1983, indeed. I found her very early runway for Sheridan Barnett on facebook and posted the pics on page 52. She had a very impressive and long catwalk career.  

Thank you for the pics, @specdude!

What was the auction for? Escada? I don't know what I'm being asked to look for. 😀

Just wondering if you had HQ pics of the rest of the photos in those old ESCADA catalog posts.

Other Escada scans of mine are on pages 42/43/44. there are other scans in various model's threads - Yasmeen Ghauri, Suzanne Lanza, Heather Stewart-Whyte, Claudia Mason etc.

That recent catalog I scanned about three pages back was expensive so I can't do it often.

Plus I've had some random person with only three posts to their name literally PMing me insisting that I post more. When I told him I didn't have any others, he was like "Why haven't you?"

No problem.

There's lots more on this thread I haven't posted. Alot of them are from the 80's

This user took almost all of the Fashionanthology.com images I have posted on BZ and watermarked them with her name. I don't mind when people are saving my pics for their boards or websites and I'm more than happy to share them, but claiming a credit and putting the own name on them is just plain stupid. 

@fumi, I know how you feel! I have daily requests from random people demanding the certain images from the certain shows!

I remember that. It's laughable because most of these vintage runway photographs are sometimes more than thirty years old. They were taken by fashion journalists back in the day. No-one now knows who they were.

@fumi, it is laughable! But I actually do know the photographers (not personally!  ). Guy Marienau is the one who did all the photos for Fashionanthology.com and he has a website:
https://guymarineau-photography.com/

And Bloomsbury's archives were done by Niall Mclrney:

Here's one of his sets - Gail for Jacques Fath RTW S/S 1997:

And here's a comparison of their work for the same show - Fendi RTW F/W 1991. Niall's work is on a left and Guy's on a right.  

Just stunning pictures. Glad someone was there all those years ago to record all her appearances.

Brian Rennie (ex-creative director of Escada) sometimes shares the rare images of his work on his facebook's page. He said that Gail and Yasmeen Ghauri were his absolute all-time favourite models. Sounds a bit like you, @fumi, as I know you love Yasmeen too!

Escada catalog 1992

I have this catalog. I scanned and posted all of Gail's pages should be in this thread somewhere. Probably 2016.

OuiSet- Katalog mit Gail - Spring Summer 1991+ 2 Escada Margaretha  Ley

I appreciate this was many years ago now but can you remember if this shot you posted was a screenshot from eBay?

I wish I could find that OuiSet photo.
