Then, we proceed in order: Above the pretext for this post. The photo, Herb Ritts, 1996, and that is, omnipresent for years, "Water Giò "of Armani.
The model is Larry Scott. Larry is (was) one of the most famous models in the world. hours ago Apparently, the photographer, but recently was photographed (by Andrea Gandini) for a service men's fashion "former top models for Io Donna.
I was a little surprised to read that the best memories of his long career as a service model has been taken with me in 1988.
Wow.
Then they say that models make the good life!
However, I know of that talks about service, because for me is unforgettable. Him, not the service.
was his first job ever. We were at school, not exactly "glam" World's Man in Milan.
We meet very rarely, persons who have an aura that goes beyond their appearance. Larry was actually very nice, and how beautiful it all was perhaps more true than in the photo, but what really struck me was the sense of the future that make its presence. Not exactly charismatic, but his sense of tomorrow. Over the years I "heard" the same thing only on rare occasions: Meeting, many, many years ago, a Valentino Rossi still bloom, and then, somehow, Lorenzo Jovanotti. People who carry written on their looks, their gestures and manners in their power, almost in the very form of their face, the prediction of new, capable people, by their mere presence, to feel like this already outdated, obsolete.
So was Larry Scott. Photographed by me in 1988.
And so it appears today, photographed by Andrea Gandini.
