Today’s young fashionistas throw around the word ‘supermodel’ like it’s confetti at the country fair. Most every model is a ‘supermodel’ if she manages to get three editorials published somewhere, somehow.

For those of us with true standards of excellence and a preference for words with meaning, Gisele Bundchen shows us real supermodel power in action in an old school editorial photographed by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia’s June issue. ‘Luxury’ is styled by Lori Goldstein with an emphasis on retro indulgences of every kind in the world of rich, pampered women. I read people at TFS calling it ’90s. To me it’s further back to the days of Irving Penn — late ’60s and early ’70s. /Hair by Guido; makeup by Pat McGarth
