Model Muses of FASHION Through the Decades

We dug through our archives to remember some of our favourite muses from the past 40 years. All in the name of FASHION!

By Lindsay Cooper

This November marks FASHION’s 40th birthday. We wanted to celebrate the models who inspired us during the past four decades from the big hair and shoulder pads of jet-setting supermodel Marley Crosby to supermodels Daria Werbowy and Coco Rocha. We asked some of our models and contributors to share their favourite memories from these shoots. Read their musings below.

FASHION’s Muses Through History: Marley Crosby

Marley Crosby on the cover of our Summer 1979 issue. “What a great model, and what a pro. We probably worked with Marley more than with any other model from the late ‘70s and well into the ‘80s. She had a natural elegance and grace that made everything she wore look terrific. In a way I think we were kind of hypnotized by those beautiful eyes, that strong, bold expression,” notes former FASHION art director, Brad MacIver. “She was lovely to work with and she was always engaged.”
