Vogue October 1979

Another great Vouge issue with
a lot of Gia. This issue contains
the famous Paris Collections
layout photographed
by Denis PIel, including the photo
of Gia with the harlequin boys,
(plus a few other gems.)

The photos for the Paris Collections were taken at the Hotel Meurice in Paris. Hair is by John Sahag and
makeup by Alberto Fava. Stephen Fried writes about this shoot in "Thing of Beauty, (paperback edition pp. 203, 204.) Sahag recalls getting Gia ready to be photographed and Piel was being a bit of a control freak...after all, it was THE Paris Collections. Piel kept complaining about Gia's hair so Sahag threw fit and cursing, took Gia into the hotel bathroom. Says Sahag, "Gia was on the bathroom floor laughing hysterically....She was just so pleased to see something like that..."
