Live Streaming... The F/W 2025.26 Fashion Shows
This is a long-shot but I've been looking for a photo for over six months (have a number of posts about it here on tFS) and the one model who I keep thinking it is...Rachel Williams.
If anyone amazingly recognizes my description below, please let me know!
As best I can remember, the model had roughly shoulder-length dirty to light blonde hair. I believe she was sitting on a beach or sand dune, with her feet a little lower than the rest of her body and her arms maybe resting in her lap or between her legs. She was wearing I guess what would be called a white peasant blouse/dress (I think it laced-up in the upper part). Either bare feet, or probably sandals of some kind.
But, the most noticeable part - she is wearing maybe 20 white and silver bangles on each arm. Maybe that will ring a bell with someone.
It is almost certainly from an American fashion magazine - possibly from Elle 1989-1991 as these are the most prominent (in my mind) issues that I haven't been able to look at so far (I've looked at maybe 800 so far).
Are you definitely sure it's Rachel? I've quite a big collection and I couldn't find one that matched that description. Are you sure you're not thinking of Ashley Richardson or Michelle Eabry?
I'd also take a look at Estelle Lefebure - she was big during the time frame you specify.
I have 1500+ photos of Ashley. I looked through them but couldn't find anything that fits your beach description.
This same thing happened to me a few years ago. Worryingly, when I did finally find the picture (by sheer accident) the details I had conjured in my mind to try and recall it differed from what they actually were. Time and memory are funny things and they often choose to remember things quite differently to how they actually were. Just saying.
Anyway, I'll look out for your photo.
