The Beauty of Retrospect: Anna Bayle Week, Part Four

As that old song once used in a Chanel commercial goes, Anna Bayle didn't want to set the world on fire . . .

. . . although she certainly did that when she modeled this Chanel number at a 1985 fashion show.

I don't think she wanted to set flames in our hearts, though when she modeled this Renato Balestra dress at a 1988 fashion show . . .


. . . she certainly set our hearts alight.  

Trust me, it's not the outfits.  It's who's wearing them.  The key to being a great model is to make the clothes as memorable as you are.  No one could make us look at a Renato Balestra dress like this the way Anna Bayle could.  And I couldn't care less about Renato Balestra.  ;-) 

Would you believe I never even heard of Renato Balestra before I found this picture? :-D
