However, during this exact summer 1979 window, Demarchelier worked almost exclusively with a tight, legendary circle of beauty masters for his high-fashion cover shoots. The look is highly characteristic of two industry icons who frequently crafted Brooke’s signature style:

Makeup Artist: Most likely Joey Mills. He was Demarchelier’s primary beauty collaborator during mid-1979 (such as their U.S. Vogue cover that same month) and famously defined Brooke Shields’ look for her definitive Calvin Klein campaigns. Another strong possibility for her bright, dramatic eye contour during this era is Way Bandy, the celebrity makeup pioneer who designed the iconic “draping” blush technique seen here.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

HELYETT: FLORAL AND VERY DEEP NECKLINE
Our overview of the tunic and its expressions conclude with the one presented at the Milanese collections by Helyett, designed by Luciano Soprani.
Here it is in close-up, here it is in all its beauty. Highlighting the overlapping cross V-neckline, kimono-style at the front, is the distinctiveness of the striped print with highly accentuated floral inserts. The waist is tightened by a ribbon belt, and the sleeves are very wide, starting practically from the hips.
Earrings and necklace by Vogue Bijoux.
