Penelope Tree: Avedon's Fetiche Model

So, after all this booz of Sienna Millers, Vanessas Paradis and even Gwens Stefanis, why the hell don't we dedicate some threads to TRUE ICONS?
I mean, nothing compares to the original taste. We live in a world ruled by the media and the mass-capitalism, so fashion needs urgently to stick on its base of being Arts at first.

So let's get ready for a list of threads I will dedicate to my all-time-muses.


Penelope, such a mysterious grace, such a dark embodiment of style.
Such an oddisey to find pictures of her at google, so anyone in possesion of great scans... welcome

What I love of Penelope: the eyes, just take a look at the current Chanel Fall Winter 05-06 makeup.... The eyes are her first way of saying: no access...

We've already got a topic on her, in the supporting cast section, where it belongs. http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19702&highlight=penelope+tree
In the future, please do a search- and don't insult Vanessa Paradis. Thanks.

Hi mods- thanks for the merge, but please, can you not keep my original title?

A critic is not an insult.

 

[purplelucrezia]

No one's insulted you, but I started the topic off.

she was great, i remember reading about her for the first time in Bazaar sept. 2001 in an editorial inspired by her and done with Angela Lindvall. too bad i cant find any pictures right now

I meant MY critic towards Vanessa Paradis....

Gosh, read, read first, then comment

 

[purplelucrezia]

Please, no rudeness, and try to avoid insulting the opinions of others.
I believe it's spelt "fetish," by the way...?

There was a Penelpe Tree look-a-like at IMG called Lindsay Hayes. She never caught on and I only saw her featured on hintmag.com and Nylon Magazine. But, since they don't have archives for their MODEL MANIA section anymore I can't find the pics of her.

Does anyone have current photos of Penelope Tree? I've been obsessed with finding photos of her being older because people have been telling me for years that I look exactly like her, so call it a weird "end of the book" type curiosity.

Other than that, I love all the photos posted; I hadn't seen all of those. Sixties clothing is my passion, and I always find the same shots from all the famous models. It's refreshing to see more "rare" shots.

Her face is exquisite, it's so haunting.
