This editorial was shot at the peak of Ling's career.
In 1997, she was the only asian model to appear in the fall/winter 97 shows like Gucci, Valentino, Dior, Fendi, Chanel. Her distinctive, oriental face caught my eye... and from then, I am the BIGGEST LING TAN FAN!
Oh, Ling also did the 1997 Fall/Winter Gucci Campaign!
Oh yes! A couple of pics from her Gucci campaign, some editorials and several magazine interviews.. But i will have to get a scanner first! Will update you again..
I really love this editorial. I think it was her first editorial to be published in the US.
ReplyDeleteYes it was.
ReplyDeleteThis was shot by Gilles Bensimon, a frequent photographer at US Elle during that time.
