Update: I’ve just put up the page for the German Vogue (August 2000) editorial from Sara! (Thanks!)

Here are some more images of Jeisa Chiminazzo from last year’s SPFW which I found at leRage.com and Getty Images.

I’m Swedish, live in Stockholm, where I’m a grad student.

I have been a fan of Jeisa since 2001 (I think). I started digging fashion photography around that time since I became fascinated with Gia Carangi and vintage fashion photography. Of course, when I realized how fantastic fashion photography can be - and how certain models always shoot amazing photos (I actually find that the best models are more reliable than the best photographers) - I started looking around to see if there were any current models with that same kind of beauty/presence that just pulls you in - and I found Jeisa (at Ardian’s great site, obviously).
So according to the principle “my culture defines me” - here you go:

Fave films: Repulsion (Polanski, Deneuve), Camille (Garbo), Oidipus Rex (Pasolini), Starship Troopers (Verhoeven), Gentlement prefer blondes (Marilyn Monroe)

Fave babes: Axl Rose ‘88, Johnny Depp (Pirates), Taime Downe ‘89, James Marsters (Spike), Marlon Brando (long ago)

Fave photographers: Guy Bourdin, Helmut Newton, Chris von Wangenheim, Francesco Scavullo, Nathaniel Goldberg

Fave models: Gia, Jeisa, Twiggy, Celia Hammond, Janice Dickinson

Fave TV shows: Twin Peaks, Frasier, Buffy the vampire slayer, Cold case, CSI

Five favourite musicians/groups: GNR, Joy Division, Faster Pussycat, Sisters of Mercy, HIM

This set comes from the Terrie Tanaka Management site and the photographer is Steen Sundland.


If you’re wondering why they might look familiar, Sundland’s client list for editorials includes Italian Marie Claire, D Magazine, I-D, Jalous, Mixte, America, Big, Italian Glamour, and Arena Homme Plus.
