Brandi Quiñones

[OMIFAN9]

I don't know if there is a thread, but I don't remember seeing one on mid-1990's Topmodel Brandi Quinones. She worked for Versace, Karl Lagerfeld(chanel), had some covers but than vanished. I believe it was her own doing, but would love to know the truth. Photo Credits: Herb Ritts & bwgreyscale.

I heard she got caught up in drugs. The last place someone saw her was in Miami somwhere.

I was hoping the rumors weren't true! I also heard she just stop caring which makes sense if she was/is into drugs. So beautiful and she made it and threw it away.

I love her in those Chanel ads with blue straw hat and stepping out from blue car. So beautiful.

The irony is.....she got discovered in a drug store, and Drugs ended her career. LOL.

Yes, that name is kinda latin. But yes, either the dad is italian, cuban or both but I'm remembering Italian for some reason.

She was born in NY but moved to Florida in her teens and was discovered there. I heard she refused to pose for a magazine because she was tired even after they came to her house to take the photos. Also she turned down V.S. I wonder if this is all true.
