Harper’s Bazaar España July/August 2025 : Carmen Kass by Rocio Ramos & Brandi Quiñones by Alvaro Gracia

[Lola701]

Brandy was a gorgeous brat that stepped right out of Clueless and my friends and I adored her for that. In retrospect, it’s understandable why she came off annoying to you, but she was only a teen when she blew up and she behaved like one of us. Unlike some models, she's aged beautifully, and looks like Adwoa from certain angles, while she bares a strong resemblance to Sade in the last shot. Would love for Haider to tap her and Adwoa for his Tom Ford campaigns.

For me, Brandi was a bit what Tyra Banks could have been if she was a great HF model.
Yes she was annoying except maybe in Couture shows. But she was fabulous in print, a bit like Stephanie Seymour who also was a catastrophe on the runway and fabulous in print.

I remember seeing her at a Riccardo Tisci show years ago and she strikes me!

This editorial is a testament. Real HF models turns up when the camera is on them. She doesn’t have to smize, to put the hands on her waist. She loves the camera and the camera love her.

Right, I was just about to say she still looks so young for a woman in her late 40s, and she's not even wearing heavy makeup or heavily retouched à la Meisel here.

Brandi was annoying during her peak (even if she is a great print model)

Yeah.. it's 8:40 for me.. 😬


I frankly didn't recognise her at first glance in the cover, she looks spectacular! (especially in that shot with the black hat).

Brandi´s way of walking felt like a mockery of models way of walking...pure parody! I have always found it funny.

And she never tripped, when walking in that exaggerated and fast way is not easy at all. Just imagine nowadays models trying to walk like her...they would spend the rest of their careers in the hospital!

Brandi has aged so gracefully, it’s a shame she’s not more in demand

I preferred her catwalk to Shalom's

They are both unequivocally unhinged and I love them here

She was just a tad OTT on the runway… Her strut came off as pure dominance, pure flaunt, and pure effervescence. She was the OG brat. But the reality was likely that she was nervous and overcompensating to prove her worth amongst all the Supers. It was adorable.

From my neck of the woods, she was every boy’s dreamgirl; my skater buddies were buying Vogues just to rip out pages with shots of her. And all the Supers seemed just so old next to her LMFAO

Bazaar France needs to shoot her, Adwoa and Binx together on-location for an 80pg feature fashion story. If Italian Bazaar gave Juergen’s deadpan shoot that ran 80pgs, us fashion faithfuls deserve a shoot with these sirens effortlessly emanating sensuality for 80pgs+.
