Yves Saint Laurent had just introduced the see-through blouse

This is the most powerful Veruschka memory of summer, in 1968. She 6 a.m. has been in vogue, fashionable shoot in the Arizona desert in remote areas. At noon, with the sun directly overhead, she stood rock wearing a large piece of shear mink coats, turbanlike twisting, in her head. Her body was with thick, vanilla - colored shirt, flat a long piece of leather.

On the other hand, visual effect is a woman who had been kidnapped and with a sleeping bag. But on the other hand, also is the problem - hand role, strong doesn t - as a top, 'get - intelligent - I - than - at.this wonderful.

"At some point," she said Veruschka rich, German - accented baritone, "it must have too much. I fainted, such as tree tipped over." Only when she realized she came to the team and not totally unrealistic: although she had fallen to board the hard rock, she recalled. "it didn't hurt at all."

Filming the inspiration of the princess Diana's Vreeland, edit fashion. Her idea is to deliver model - - the - how Veruschka, her boyfriend, photographer franco Rubartelli, with her best friend - a young stylist called George di sant 'Angelo - began painting desert, no fashion shoot needle clothes.



"We had nothing but some yards of fabric, some stones, and some ropes," recalls Veruschka, still a statuesque beauty 34 years later. And yet, where others might see a pile of fabric and clothesline, Sant'Angelo saw clothes. Over the course of the week, he would wrap, drape, and tie Veruschka into enough looks for a small collection -- one with more ideas than most of today's large collections, and without a single zipper.


It was that kind of a year. It was the Summer of Love, flower power was ascendant, and Yves Saint Laurent had just introduced the see-through blouse. Koos van den Akker, a young Dutch designer, had set up a sewing machine right on Seventh Avenue in a clever bid to draw attention to his artsy, hand-crafted lace dresses. Not to be outdone, Paco Rabanne had shown mod mini-dresses made of aluminum panels.
