US Vanity Fair April 2005 : Natalia, Carmen & Karolina by Patrick Demarchelier

[MulletProof]

I think we should say a big thank you @justaguy for this great work on forum with vintage magazines
There is no point in reviving very old topics with inactive links,the people who wrote these most likely have already left the forum.

Accounts are individual, gratitude comes best without the self-serving intent to make others seem ungrateful.

These 'very old topics' built by members who left are not revived to lure them back. This has been primarily a discussion platform from day one, exchanges are what set this apart from tumblr/ig/pinterest. You may not see the value in the old threads if you're just coming here to dump and borrow scans, but for people interested in fashion and not just models, who are curios about fashion's history, social context over time, the way imagery is perceived and how opinion changes, it is relevant and very much valuable, they are tfs' archives so replacing them is not ideal if there's an existing thread.

Ironically enough, this section would not exist without iluvjeisa's idea of building a space for these forgotten threads, and hoping they incentivized an appreciation for 'old' topics, which is everything this section comprehends with or without active members, links or subjects for that matter [a good number of the people featured in this section are positively dead].

Back to the main topic of this particular issue, should anyone be curious, it was controversial at the time as modeling was switching from the Brazilian bombshell aesthetic to the Eastern European one. The fact that this is not Vogue but Vanity Fair, made it a 'hot' topic and some comments made by Eugenia Volodina somewhere in this issue sparked a debate on that and probably on weight, which is most likely the reason the original thread is gone and looking back, both subject and the discussion were onto something: it was extreme enough that they triggered the commodity activism via modeling that we have now..

Her comments about Brazilians being "finished" were pretty innocuous, but reading through the article, it's fun to reminisce about a time when these interviews were unfiltered and you still got a sense of the subject's personality..

I still have this issue. It's one of the first magazines I bought off a newsstand
