do my eyes deceive me?! is that jessica stam circa s/s 2004?

after some thought i've decided that i dislike the first picture, i don't think either du or jessica look good but the second is the most exciting stam has looked (editorial-wise) since numéro 87. the second picture is like 2004 good, i'm talking meisel glory days here. this is the total opposite of when jessica did armani for f/w 2006/7, where she looked the height of femininity. i can't wait to see more, i do like me some androgynous stam.

oh and just one more thing: NO MORE HOLLINS ♥♥♥. i'd like to thank everyone who was involved in getting fewer pages of hollins in my magazines; mert alas & marcus piggot, du and jessica and of course - giorgio armani in particular.

p.s. i'm working on an icon update. my inspiration grew legs and disappeared on me again but looking at these and natasha's latest eds i think we may be back in business.

oh and just for fun i posted a models talk from s/s 2004 under the cut
