FRIDAY POP QUIZ (AKA NAME THAT MUSE)

February 27th, 2009

While perusing the feature article in The Best of British issue of i-D Magazine, we were struck by a statement Edward Enninful made about this year’s British Model of the Year, 18 year old Jourdan Dunn. Enninful suggests that she possesses an elegance long absent from the modeling world, and an “old fashioned Yves Saint Laurent glamour, but with a West London street edge.” We couldn’t agree more.  We decided to look back at some of the black models who served as YSL’s muses over the decades, and paved the way for women of color in the fashion industry.

We were wondering if our readers know their YSL model muses as well as they should, so we selected a few iconic YSL runway shots from the late 80s through the early 90s for this week’s pop quiz. So… can you name the model muses?

A.

B.

C.
