Here we have this 1984 Dolly starring another regular Dolly model - Jenny. I personally don't really recognise her from many issues though. I think she has a more high-end model look than the usual Dolly model had, and can imagine her doing some couture modelling. Every time I glance through this issue, I'm always drawn to the red plastic sneakers and upon reading the fine print, found that these are some Jean Paul Gaultier for Sportsgirl sneakers which really surprises me! I guess the high/low end collaborations have had a lot of press lately, and I never really thought it was done that much in the past, but there you go!
Thank you Thank you Thank Maryanne!! I squealed when I saw it!! And I remember now Sonia Klein was another big regular. Thanks again, so many memories! x
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Jenny too - the cover is so classic, still looks good and not dated.
ReplyDeleteJust loving all of this as a teen of the 80's
ReplyDeleteGlad it's the one you were thinking of! Yes Sonia Klein did end up making it big didn't she ... although unfortunately she's not really in many of the issues I have I don't think..
ReplyDeleteYou are right about Jenny...Both Jenny and Sonia were more in that wonderful high-fashion mag 'Follow Me' than Dolly at that time. I still have my whole stash from that era and maybe someday I will post it online...
ReplyDeleteUmm yes, please do! And then let me know where to find them as I'd love to see them!
DeleteJenny was one of my favourites. I had a pic for years on my pin up board from an 84 or 85 fashion spread of her on the back of a motorbike in a blue sequined dress, wearing an incredible red lipstick. I vaguely remember her being a West Aussie and I think she may have been a brickie at one stage? I worked at a market stall for a year or so and I swear I saw her one day in the late 90's and the silly fangurrl in me wanted to blurt out "Are you Jenny from Dolly - you were my favourite model!!" But I didn't. Thanks for the blog, can't wait for more !!
ReplyDeleteI loved Jenny, and I loved that photo of her in the sequin dress. She also did a shoot in Bali (maybe the same as above), and she was wearing a khaki shirt with her lacy camisole showing. My God, I thought that was so, so cool, and I pretty sure I based my entire wardrobe on that picture for the next year.
ReplyDeletePretty sure her name was Jenny Klopper. I remember her doing a few editorials and a beauty article featuring models; Sarah Nursey, Sonia Klein and another model Francesca... who I think now is an artist.

ReplyDeleteTrivia note - Jenny and Anna Gare's Dads ran a WA architecture business together - Klopper and Gare.
