Nancy Donahue was one of the most sought-after faces in fashion and beauty editorials and advertising in the 1980s. She appeared in ads for jewelry, department stores, and fashion designers such as Perry Ellis, Ralph Lauren, and Donna Karan. She was also in many a fashion or beauty editorial and on many a cover of all of the prestigious fashion and beauty magazines. Including the U.K. edition of Vogue.
I've shown numerous examples of Nancy Donahue's work throughout the eighties already on this blog, but these pictures are all from the beginning of the decade - specifically, the June 1980 issue of British Vogue.
June is when it gets hot. These striking pictures showing our heroine really turning on the heat! I believe the cut of the dress in the photo above is what is called a bias.
My tribute to Nancy Donahue on the occasion of her sixtieth birthday has a bias all right - a favorable one. ;-)
And how could I not have a favorable prejudice towards a woman who looks so gorgeous in yellow? :-D
