From 1979: Gorgeous, Gorgeous Gia

There will never be enough words said about her beauty. She really was one of the best models who ever lived, and she managed to attain that status in less than five years of working in the industry and despite having a, shall we say, dangerous way of living.

This photo appeared in the April, 1979, issue of Vogue UK.

If you double-click the photo, prepare to be stunned.

From April 1990: Christy Turlington In Ungaro

Vogue

For a couple of years after this first appeared in the magazine, I had this page tacked up on my wall. I was, and continue to be, struck by how beautiful this image is. Christy Turlington has taken a lifetime of iconic, stunning photographs. For me, this is one of the most memorable.
