Model Carol Asmann

Carol Asmann is a model from the late seventies and early eighties who successfully evoked hot glamour and cool beauty.

This steamy pose in the June-July 1979 issue of the Paris edition of Vogue, certainly demonstrates the former. 😁

Ms, Asmann could afford to be lustily sultry for French audiences, but in America in 1981 - where a return to measured prudishness had been ushered in at the ballot box in the most recent federal elections - she had to tone it down somewhat, as this sleepwear picture for a fashion editorial in the special August 30, 1981 edition of the New York Times Sunday magazine demonstrates.


A far more conservative pose, in the same New York Times magazine issue, is this close-up of Ms. Asmann modeling jewelry. 


Carol Asmann is a woman whose beauty needed to be accordingly re-interpreted for a different audience, but nothing was lost in translation. 😊
