Vintage Giorgio Armani Ads

Photograped by: Aldo Fallai
Model: Gia Carangi

"Gia Marie Carangi (1/29/60 – 11/18/86) was an American fashion model during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Carangi was considered by some to be the first supermodel, although that title has also been given to others, including Janice Dickinson and Dorian Leigh. After she became addicted to heroin, Carangi's modeling career rapidly declined. She later became infected with HIV and died at the age of 26. Her death was not widely publicized and few people in the fashion industry knew of it. Carangi is thought to be one of the first famous women to die of AIDS. A biographical film starring Angelina Jolie, Gia, debuted on HBO in 1998."
