@liliqouis_moon hello friend! this is just a try because she is at the very top of my list: do you think you or any of your sources could identify this model? she was a chanel regular as early as 1992 and did a couple other couture shows in the mid 90s

Hello. Will try to ask. Been wanting to find out her name, too.

Another mystery of Rome's Alta Moda. I believe she's a Spanish model. I saw her in person at a minor event in the early 1990s, I found her remarkable. Perhaps identified by @spanishmodelsquad somewhere on the site.

Sorry for the poor quality of the frames.

Balestra FW 1991-92

We are not lucky this time. Asked both photographers I know. Neither of them know her name. And they're not your run-of-the-mill lensmen. Both are OGs in runway photography during the 80s. I mean, they know all the girls (except this one, unfortunately). One of them retired a long time ago and one still works at present and Getty sells his images. Retiree says maybe she was a cabine at the House of Chanel. She seems to be of Indian or Hispanic/Latin descent, like Marielou Phillips or Natalia Sabe.

So I guess we will have to wait till someone IDs her.

Thank you for your interest. 🙂 The search continues!

wow the resemblance is STRONG in the face. unfortunately Gul started modelling in this late 90s and this model existed in the scene since at least the early 90s, thank you for showing me another beautiful model, though😍

you're welcome! at first sought i thought Gul was her but unfortunately no ☹️. ive been looking at previous messages in this thread and honestly, her identity is a big mystery! i probably spent the most time figuring out the identity of a model in her (30-40 mins)

to me she is #1 of my biggest mystery models, #2 is the one seen below who worked from 1995-1997 in Paris

at first i thought she might be Danika Thompson, who modelled as early as 1998, but this model looks a bit too mature to be Danika

she could actually be danika! probably the strong makeup makes her look older/mature. if shes danika, thank you! 😊

i do not think she is Danika

  • there is a curve in her nose (top to down): going to her rightside; Daniko no; thinner high part

  • the profile of her ear is different; even though her hair is behind her ear in this one. Danika's ear is far from head at top (highest point) ear

  • danika s03jeremyScott-BS-4.jpg

i think Minerva knows her

she looks like Julie Healy, but this nose looks longer
