Rado's collection:

and here is an interesting page from French Vogue March 2002 with some old pics of Kirsten, but the most interesting one is with her when she was a teenager on the way to school...well a punk girl! Who could have guessed from seeing her modeling pics)
scanned by me:

alot of people don't realise how long kirsten has been at it(and i maybe repeating myself,so forgive me)....i mean she was modelling way back in 1990 when a then,rising brigade of belgian talents,employed her. that was when every other designer was hyped up on whatever generic, curvaceous glamazon. some people actually think she came along only during that mid-90's heroin chic trend...but long before that,kirsten was being booked. she was and has always been such a distinct modelling talent. there is nobody like her even today. she,and her best friend stella tennant along with kristen mcmenamy were always my favourites.

I see you have great taste for models My personal favorite from the three is Kristen McMenamy of course( www.radolgc.com/kristenmcmenamy ), then Stella and then Kirsten(sorry).
She was modeling before 1990 as you can see on some of the scans I posted, i guess she started around 1987

I'm so happy to see her thread constantly getting new replies now. All these scans are so amazing, radolgc. I knew she was a little punk back in her teenage years in England, before coming to be a model, and love the one of her with the shaved head!! I agree there's no one close to being like Kirsten, and my top 3 are the same as yours, Scott. B)
Radolgc, do you have the photos from W with her and Stella and their children? It was a few pages of them, very candid style, where they are near water, maybe on a boat? I remember just one of Kirsten with her eyes closed, face up to the sun...

well, my best friend collects the work of Stella Tennant and I give all my Stella clippings to him...so i will ask him if he has it as I do not remember if I ever had this one, but I will try to look for it any clues which year and month it was published?

Thanks again Radolgc for all of this Some great pics and loads I'd never saw before.B) LMAO at her punk pic
Just going through all these pics it is startling how much she resembles the actress Jenifer Jason Leigh I have never noticed this before, is it just me or does anyone else think so????

What an amazing body of work though

Btw I spotted this in Jurgen Teller's thread has it been posted yet??
