The Guess Girls of the 90s

The man behind the infamously seductive Guess campaigns, Paul Marciano, selects his top ten girls

Drew Berrymore - Ph. Wayne Maser 1993 (Los Angeles

Paul Marciano has good taste in girls. The CEO of Guess is the brains behind every Guess Girl campaign, casting each and every beauty since the very beginning. In control of the creative direction, Marciano is the man single-handedly responsible for the notoriously sensual and infamous black and white campaigns. A striking image from 1993 surfaced of a dark lipped, Drew Barrymore wrapped in cheetah print, coinciding with our current takeover. To celebrate the decade, Paul Marciano selects his ten favourite Guess Girls, predominately photographed in the 90s taken from his campaign archive.

Carla Bruni - Ph. Wayne Maser 1987 Paris — Carla Bruni Photography by Wayne Maser

Carla Bruni 1987
"Wayne and I went to Paris that year to work on a new shoot and casted an exotic young Italian model, Carla Bruni who we felt could give a new look to the Guess campaign images. She was very young, only 16 when she did that shoot yet her presence on film was magical. The Guess shoot was her first job in her career and she was the third Guess girl."

Claudia Schiffer Ph Ellen Von Unwerth Viareggio ( — Claudia Schiffer Photography by Ellen Von Unwerth

Claudia Schiffer 1989
"Ellen and I were scouting for unknown models for the Guess campaigns and in one of our many castings we came across a young German model that had an amazing resemblance to Brigitte Bardot and in our opinion was the answer to our dream to faithfully recreate the old movies of the 50s. Her long, blonde hair and sensual curves, along with her unique personality, so independent and determined set the standard for all Guess girls to follow her. Claudia is the quintessential Guess girl."

Eva Herzigova Ph Ellen Von Unwerth 1992 New York C — Eva Herzigova Photography by Ellen Von Unwerth

Eva Herzigova 1992
"When I saw Eva, I thought immediately how much she looked like Marilyn Monroe. Her resemblance to a 50s icon like Marilyn Monroe, her playful nature and her determination broke through on these first shoots making her an unforgettable Guess girl."

Anna Nicole Smith Ph. Daniela Federici Miami 1992 — Anna Nicole Smith Photography by Daniela Federici

Anna Nicole Smith 1992
"Anna Nicole was larger than life and so similar in appearance to Anita Ekberg in La Dolce Vita, what a find and what a perfect model for the Guess campaigns. She was sensual, mysterious and seductive, so Guess!"

Drew Barrymore 1993
"I can only say Drew was the nicest and easiest person to work with and full of enthusiasm at all times on the shoot. She brought a new dimension to the Guess campaigns and to the Guess girl image with her fresh and striking beauty."

Laetitia Casta Ph. Dah Len 1997 (Florida) — Laetitia Casta Photography by Dah Len

Laetitia Casta 1997
"I worked with Laetitia for six years in many locations – Jamaica, New York, Los Angeles, Malibu, Miami, Palm Springs – with many top photographers like Pablo Alfaro, Dewey Nicks and Daniela Federici and she is one of my favourite models of all time. She is an ideal beauty with her alluring face and bright blue eyes and portrayed the Guess girl image in such a successful way, appealing to both men and women alike."

Estelle Lefebure Ph. Wayne Maser Hawaii 1987 — Estelle Lefebure Photography by Wayne Maser

Estelle Lefébure 1987
"I was continuing shoots with Wayne Maser and one of the most important goals for us at the time was choosing a face that could represent the Guess image in the right way. We constantly scouted for new faces and that is how we found Estelle who was a completely unknown French model.She was fresh and unknown and would set the trend for all the Guess girls to follow her. Estelle’s beauty captured all the elements of those GUESS years. Her sensuality and natural style burst through the lens and on to the images."

Carré Otis 1988
"Carré was the star of my first partnership with photographer Ellen Von Unwerth. Ellen and I shared a passion for old American and Italian movies and wanted to use that concept as a base to create timeless campaign images. Carrè, with her romantic looks and playful personality was an ideal choice."

Deidre Maguire Ph. Wayne Maser Santa Fe 1983 — Deidre Maguire Photography by Wayne Maser

Deidre McGuire 1983
"I met Deidre on the first shoot we ever did for Guess which was shot by Wayne Maser on a beach. Deidre was a perfect and natural choice for Guess. Her relaxed attitude and natural sensualness made her truly stand out from the crowd."

How to Work With Your Curves

Dress for the size you are—not what you want to be or once were! Work with what you have! Own it.

1.Dress from the inside out. A well-fitting bra and shapewear will camouflage all lumps and bumps.

2.Clothes should skim your body, not cling to it like sausage casing! Think high-waist, wide trousers, and A-line or flared skirts.

3.Don’t cover your curves! Big clothes on big bodies only make you look bigger.

4.Skirts should end just before or under the kneecap. Your legs will look longer.

5.Shorter, fitted jackets will also flatter your legs—and waist.

6.Avoid elasticized waistbands. They might be comfortable, but they add bulk to your midsection.

7.Keep necklines open. A deep V- or scoop neck lengthens your neck.

8. A dress with a belt will cinch you in, focusing attention on your smaller waist.

9.Wide feet need to be counterbalanced with wide heels. A thinner heel only draws attention to your

wider foot. (Adapted by Jessy Pearl)

Never full of vintage style

Photos by Andrew Arthur
Some accessories are born to become icons, like my Louis Vuitton Neverfull Damier Ebene that has been my loyal companion in my trips and adventures all over the world.
“Her traveller destiny” was already written: I saw “her” for the first time in the windows of the 5th avenue Louis Vuitton store in one of my first trips to New York, I admired it and thought about reasons to avoid trying it on. Of course I didnt find any of them: five minutes later I looked at ourselves together in the mirror for the first time, and I understood that some relationships really start with love at first sight.
In these four years together she’s has been everywhere with me: from Thailand to Los Angeles, from Brazil to Tokyo, never tired and always ready to make me feel chic in a second, even after twelve hours of flying.
And here “she” is again with me, in a new Louis Vuitton adventure (do you remember about my Speedy adventures?): this time my Neverfull Damier Ebene poses with me in front of the camera in the iconic Forte Dei Marmi.
The photos are shot at Hotel Augustus, hystorical location which became popular in the 50s and 60s, years that inspired this photoshoot.
My Neverfull also managed to do this: “she” stopped the time and made me feel like a pinup from the 50s.
It’s all written in “her” name: she’s never full and always ready for new surprises.
Certi oggetti nascono per diventare un’icona, come la mia Louis Vuitton Neverfull Damier Ebene che da anni mi accompagna nei miei viaggi ed avventure in giro per il mondo.
Il “suo destino” da viaggiatrice era d’altronde gia’ stabilito sin dall’inizio: l’ho vista per la prima volta nella vetrina dello store di 5th Avenue in uno dei miei primi viaggi a New York, l’ho ammirata e ho cercato di pensare a qualche buona ragione per cui non entrare a provarla.
Motivi per cui non farlo naturalmente non ce n’erano: cinque minuti dopo la vedevo per la prima volta insieme a me, e capivo che certi rapporti nascono veramente cosi, con un colpo di fulmine che ti fa battere il cuore.
In questi quattro anni insieme lei ha sempre viaggiato con me: dalla Thailandia a Los Angeles, dal Brasile a Tokyo, mai stanca e sempre pronta a farmi sentire subito chic, anche dopo un volo aereo di dodici ore.
Ed eccola ancora qui con me, in una nuova avventura firmata Louis Vuitton (vi ricordate le mie avventure con la Speedy?): questa volta la mia Neverfull Damier Ebene posa insieme a me davanti all’obbiettivo nell’iconica Forte Dei Marmi, luogo di villeggiatura da sempre sinonimo di quiete e di eleganza.
Le foto sono state scattate all’Hotel Augustus, location storica che ha visto il successo negli anni ’50 e ’60 e a cui naturalmente queste foto sono ispirate.
La mia Neverfull e’riuscita anche in questo: ha fermato il tempo e mi ha fatta sentire una vera pinup anni ’50.
D’altronde e’ gia’ tutto scritto nel suo nome: da sempre e’ “never-full” e piena di sorprese.
