MODEL MOVIES
Since we’re on a retro modeling tangent, I thought it would be a good time to mention the 1983 movie, Portfolio. V Magazine uploaded the full-length version a couple of weeks ago and it’s an hour and a half of 80’s camp. The plot centers around Elite Model Management’s Jennifer Conolley look-a-like, Julie Wolfe, as she tries to break into the industry (though she was an established model by that time) while providing a life-without-the-boring-bits glimpse of other famous faces like Paulia Porizkova and Carol Alt. Other cameos include Steven Meisel, Patrick Demarchelier, Francesco Scavullo, Valentino, Antonio Lopez, Andy Warhol, and Pat Cleveland. Also, expect fashion show footage from Issey Miyake, Perry Ellis, Valentino, and Azzedine Alaia. Have a look!
