RIP, she was well-loved and will be missed. Her images of Kate Moss were iconic and very of their time.
So sad. I still have that issue, vacuum-sealed.
Tragic…I remember her well…we modelled together in the 80′s when we were represented by Premier and travelled on the same train to the agency…I am really sad to hear this awful news…
