Hall,Hume,Harlow,Everhart…remember them?

Erano gli anni ottanta/novanta e la top model mania era nel momento di massimo fulgore. Chi di voi ricorda nomi quali Kirsty Hume, Bridget Hall, Shalom Harlow ed Angie Everhart? Ai tempi erano davvero super famose: calcavano le passerelle di Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Ralph Lauren… erano protagoniste dei vari calendari Pirelli o delle copertine di Harper’s Bazaar o Elle o Vogue. Ed ora? Dove sono finite? Kirsty Hume, dopo essere stata testimonial di Victoria’s Secret a fine anni novanta, ha chiuso baracca e burattini e ora la vediamo in giro per NY indossando Birkenstocks e cercando ispirazione per i suoi quadri. Bridget Hall, dopo essere stata classificata tra le dieci modelle di maggior successo dei primi novanta da Forbes, ha interpretato se stessa ne “Il diavolo veste Prada”, e poi…nada. Shalom Harlow, dopo essere stata musa di Chanel, Dior, Blumarine e tanti altri, viene nominata nel 2007 da Forbes tra le 15 modelle piu’ pagate e ora si dedica alla recitazione. Un’altra attrice “in erba” e’ la rossa Angie, che tra una relazione con Stallone e un’altra con Joe Pesci, ha trovato il sacro fuoco dell’arte cinematografica tra un set e l’atro. Ma ora riviviamo i loro “roaring nineties” con queste immagini vintage…
