This photo has the aesthetics of photo shoot that Gia did with photographer John Stember. It looks so much like one of Stember’s that even John Stember himself mistakenly confirmed that it was his.
The photographer of this photo is in fact Stan Malinowski.
It was published July 1977 when Gia was 17,
finishing summer school so that she could get her
High School diploma in Philadelpha.

The above photo was published in this July 1977 issue of
American Vogue.

On the cover is Patti Hansen by
Arthur Elgort photographer.
Marc Pipino hair, Ariella makeup.

People who knew and/or worked with Gia have innocently misidentified photos as Gia many times over the years,
as have many Gia’s fans.
We’ve all been mistaken at least once.
We’re all humans, our eyes and our memories
can deceive us sometimes.
We all have to be more diligent about not
tagging or “confirming” that a photo is Gia
just because we think it looks like her.
Unless we have the proof, then we don’t know if it’s Gia.
