Hi.
I’ve been following your quest - but I’ve forgotten the original photo!? Could you tell me what it was as I have an inkling which photo it is … I have an extensive magazine collection from the 80 / 90s. I hope I can help
Thanks for your message! Below is the description of the photo:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The model has roughly shoulder-length dirty to light blond 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, on her knees 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). Bare shoulders - I think. With either sandals or bare feet.
But, the most distinctive part - she is wearing maybe 15 or 20 white and silver bangles on each arm. The easiest way to find the photo is to look for a lot of bracelets or bangles (that will eliminate almost all photos from consideration immediately and you will come across only a few that will have any chance of being the photo I'm looking for). She is by herself in the photo and I believe is facing at least slightly to the reader's right as you look at the photo.
I think there was some kind of vacation theme in this editorial. There was also a bohemian reference (and from my review of magazines so far, that was in fashion in 1999, the year I now think my photo was in).

I would be amazed if you actually recognize or have this photo, but we'll see!
These are the issues that I still have to review (when there are page numbers listed, that means I have looked at a Table of Contents scan and believe the photo could only be in the fashion editorial starting with that particular page number).

My best guess for the year is 1999, but I can't say that's the right year for sure. If I don't end up finding the photo in these, I am going to consider going back and looking at some of the magazines I've already looked at as it's possible that it was missed somehow.
