1998. The model is identified as Audrey, who is, I think, Audrey Marnay. Whoever she is in real life, for me in this picture she’s Ophelia, pale and fragile, with Cupid’s bow lips, artfully dishevelled tresses and flower bedecked gown.
This photo appears in Fashion Faces Up, Martin Harrison, Steidl, 2000, according to which it was taken for Vogue in 1998. The likelihood is that it is to be found in the Couture supplement of the March or September edition of Vogue Italia.
