I used to be a model and in 1988 I was with Select Models and was booked to work for the Next Directory in America. I think the photographer was Sascha. Can you see my name in the book? And do you think you could send me any pics of the pages I am on as it would be great to show my Mum? I think I was wearing floral dresses and the like... I have very fair skin and long red hair. I would have been 17 years old when it was shot. I would be so grateful for any snaps etc as I am trying to get some archive pics together... Thank you so much. Please email me at samstrattonsims@yahoo.co.uk. How fab to see that you have an original copy of the Next catalogue.

Onw because i am working within the next group at the moment and the other because i have a copy of that very first catalogue, still enclosed within it's bubble pack. It is a wonderful example of beautiful photograghy and style. I do not think any catalogue has ever came close to the quality of the Next catalogue.

What a superb treat. Thank you!<br /><br />I recognized some names on those lists, and I recognized some looks I adopted and twisted for myself: white socks and black brogues being one—I wore white cotton socks that I scrunched to a faretheewell with black suede creepers and black miniskirts. <br /><br />Oh, those thrilling days of yesteryear.
