Thanks, Dean. She still is totally striking.

She would have been perfect at Gucci. What shows are left that are a possibility?

 

[Northern Star]

^^Is she even in Milan????
I would personally love her to do Versace I can't really see it but it would be great.
On that pic from Zac Posen she really doesn't look any different than she did say 10 years ago So I don't see why most designers couldn't use her.
At this stage Tyler I would be happy to see her in almost any show.

Dolce Gabbana, JPG and Versace would be possible, she walked these shows very often, Dolce about 10 times and Versace about 12 times, included HC . But I don't think that she will appear in Europe

Would love to see her at Versace. Donatella should revive a ton of 90's models for a reunion show-Christina, Naomi, Kirsten, Rhea, Erin, Shalom, Amber, Linda, Stella, Kristen, etc. etc.

Oh yes that would be great indeed! You forgot about Claudia! She should open the show, but i guess Versace wouldn't be able to afford all the supermodels in days of economic crisis

Having spent too much time idling in hotel rooms, Christina Kruse, the hauntingly beautiful German model, decided in the mid-’90s to take up a hobby. So she bought a Mamiya camera and became her own guinea pig, dressing up as different characters and posing for herself. Then she began gluing the photos into travel journals (or “Reisebuchs,” as she calls them) and creating intricate collages that elegantly combined gouache and newsprint, colored tape and metallic paper. “They became like a language I had with myself,” she said.

Nowadays, Ms. Kruse has a studio in Brooklyn and a costume closet the size of a small bedroom. Her photos have been published in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Interview; and last week, her first solo show in the United States opened at Steven Kasher Gallery in Chelsea. On view is a range of evocative, often amusing self-portraits and collages, as well as “Reisebuch 1-5,” her limited-edition artist’s book, painstakingly self-published in Germany. So much for free time. As she noted, “It took forever to do them.”

Christina Kruse runs through March 28 at Steven Kasher Gallery, 521 West 23rd Street; (212) 966-3978.

She is so perfect. The platinum white hair on her is the best.
