Shacter began her career shooting fashion pictures for GQ, New York Magazine, Harpers & Queen, Tatler, British, German and Spanish Vogues, L’Uomo Vogue, Linea Italiana, Amica, Grazia, and Giorgio Armani.
Susan first worked with Gia in 1978 (or early 1979) when she was booked for a shoot for Anne Klein.
The models were supposed to be Juli Foster and Lena Kansbod. Juli got sick.
SUSAN SHACTER: “These were my photos of Gia Carangi and Lena Kansbod, a very successful Swedish model on a shoot for Anne Klein.
Juli Foster was booked and cancelled at the last minute, and Wilhelmina replaced her with Gia who was brand new but still had quite an attitude and other model kept staring at her in disbelief!
Gia was amazing to work with from the getgo and very sweet.”
Susan Shacter took this photo of Gia Carangi in 1979.
This was published in Italian. I’m not sure what magazine it was published in. I would love to know the mag, and issue. I have reached out to Susan.
My guess would be L’Uomo Vogue or Linea Italiana since they were mentioned in Susan’s bio.
I translated this from Italian to English for those who love that.
I found Susan Shacter’s book on Amazon.
