Can't say I am impressed. These remind me a lot of 90s VI runway reports with backstage shots. I am surprised they didn't use Meisel.

Straightup gorgeous.

Never seen this campaign before. So deceptively simple but it really takes such a master’s eye to capture the essence of feminine heat and lightness of being the way that Mario’s done here.

(God, the days when a house would produce and run these multi-spread ads as a full story in magazines— and always in premium-quality cardstock. One would buy the magazine alone on these campaigns; I always bought them just for Tom Ford's Gucci ones. Such a different world than today’s pathetic offerings.)

Fernanda was a HF model? I only knew her from VS and swimwear shoots

She also had LV and Chloe around the same time and a VP cover.

Fernanda was a favourite on the runway as well, always giving that latin energy.

There was a Brazilian wave so literally all the Brazilian girls who became huge commercially had their little HF moments...
Then the Belgium came in the early 00´s and only those who fitted more with that wave stayed (Caroline Ribeiro was as big as Gisele at the time).
