GIA CARANGI

HELMUT NEWTON'S WOMAN INTO MAN (or cross-dressing women)

WORLD WITHOUT MEN - 1975

The first four images were taken at the George V Hotel in Paris and were published in the March 1979 issue of Paris Vogue for Yves St. Laurent.  It's always been thought that the model in the third photo is Gia, however she might just be another good looking brunette... it's hard to tell.  Helmut Netwon did another Yves St. Laurent photo layout similar to the woman into man shoot in 1975, called "World Without Men," but I don't know the name of  the model. At right, is a reprint of one of the 1979 photos with Gia.  It was in a 2004 Paris Vogue supplement after Newton's death.

THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE GIA
