I think that these are even from 1996. H&M wasn't present in France at that moment neither, or I would have stolen or their ad posters! H&M strategy is still about using famous models, so who knows maybe they'll use Linda one day again.

I absolutely adore this 2004 Naars campaign shot. Sorry, the page got a little smudged on right side of face...but still nice. By Francois Naars, scanned by me.

I never noticed them in Paris but I did see them all over Switzerland, Belgium and even in Milan. Would love to see Linda in a new H&M!

in this pct she reminds me of another beautiful model - Kristina Semenoskaya from Russia

The lower Dior definitely looks like Linda's eyes (at some point...she's changed her look so many times...!). Great finds, Sweet rus ...is the top one from an ad campaign?

Sweet rus, I love those Strennesse ads! Jürgen Teller is one of my favorite photographers! He's got a kind of "4REAL" side, it's not only about cosmetic and flawless beauty. His photographs have character. He's like a modern Peter Lindbergh (sorry Pete!).

I'd love to have the catalog of this campaign. It was one day on ebay... but I discovered it when the auction has already ended.

here she looks very young, which year is it...deos anybody know

Shana, thanks for you warm note . Actually I've got something especially for you and I guess for Rockish as well. Aren't you both fans of red head Linda? I have to say that this hair color allowed designers to make the most striking clothing color combinations from petrol blue to grey everything's so chic combined with that auburn shade of red.

So here is one of my fave from the archive. It's from French Gala magazine, published in early 1992 in a article about the Haute Couture s/s 1992. Well, there's Claudia and Karl captured in that pic as well, but just ignore them.
