When I created this blog, Gemma Ward was The Model. The Gemma Generation included a bunch of girls that expressed the baby-doll feeling better than anybody: Heather Marks, Sasha Pivovarova, Vlada Roslyakova... Nevertheless, for me Gemma was unique. She had that features that made you think: is she beautiful or just an alien beauty? I don't know, but I think she is one of the most influent models of the XXI Century (so far). I wish she hadn't retired, I miss her on the runway.
She stopped modelling to become an actress. She appeared in a couple of films, in her homeland, Australia. Now people say that because of a depression (caused by Heath Ledger's death) she has gained weight. In my opinion, maybe she was just tired of always being on a diet and started to eat properly.

Cuando empecé este blog, Gemma Ward era La Modelo. La Generación Gemma incluía a varias modelos que transmitían ese gusto por lo baby-doll que tanto estuvo de moda: Heather Marks, Sasha Pivovarova, Vlada Roslyakova... sin embargo, para mí Gemma era única. Tenía esos rasgos que te hacían verla como una chica guapísima o rarísima. En mi opinión, es una de las modelos más influyentes del siglo XXI. Ojalá no se hubiera retirado, se la hecha de menos en las pasarelas y en las editoriales.
Dejó las pasarelas para convertirse en actriz. Hizo un par de películas en Australia, su lugar de nacimiento. Ahora dicen que a causa de una depresión tras la muerte de Heath Ledger ha ganado unos kilos. Quizás sea eso, o simplemente estaba cansada de estar a dieta durante toda su vida.
A mí nunca me ha apasionado, sin embargo es una modelo que nunca me ha molestado. Incluso me caía muy bien.
ReplyDeleteAhora creo que está muy gorda, por una depresión decían.
Saludos ;)
Sus fotos me las he cruzado infinidad de veces... Era diferente (Ese rollo Lolita "buena-o-no-tan-buena")
ReplyDeleteA mi me entusiasmaba.
(Foto mítica las del vestido blanco saludando sobre los monitores del escenario...tiene todo)
Gracias por enseñarme otra vez algo bonito, muy bonito.
;)

que guapísima es, a mi también me gustan mucho las modelos de belleza rara, ésas son las que transmiten..las otras..son guapas..simplemente.Aahh quien fuese ella en el barco debajo de Josh Hartnett!!! Un besoo
ReplyDeleteme encanta gemma!!!! es distinta al resto como una muñequina preciosa!!! y super especial!!!
ReplyDeleteme ha encantado el post
un besin miss
Cuano era más chiquitita, y aún no estaba inmersa en el mundo de las modelos, en los desfiles de FTV, era ella la única que resaltaba en mis ojos todo el tiempo, me había enamorado de esa modelo. Después de un tiempo conocí a Gemma por internet, y caí muy tarde que era la misma que miraba siempre de chica. haha.
ReplyDeletePues si se ha retirado es que ha ganado mucho dinero y no necesita ese mundo superficial de las pasarelas, y tan efímero. Espero que encuentre la felicidad la verdad es que las fotos que ha dejado son preciosas.
ReplyDeleteUna monada.
Muas!
algo eschuche de que estaba con depre ultimamente!!!!
ReplyDeletePara mi, es de esas modelos que la ves mucho y te termina gustando con el tiempo....
Bs!
Ah! Miss her too! :( She has something ethereal and so different about her, those amazing eyes, cute mouth...
ReplyDeleteCREO que ella fu una de las primeros modelos que se me quedó grabada :(
ReplyDeleteShe's always been one of my favourite models.
ReplyDeleteI really think that in the future she will be remembered and maybe recreated...as you say, she's been so influent.
I've heard (wwll, read)that she wants to be an actress. In fact she's acted in a couple of movies.
I simply adore her bizarre (in a good way) beauty.
I would love to see her back, at least in an editorial...
(btw...thank you thank you thank you for the TFS invitation. I'm moving, and didn't have much time to comment on your last posts and to thank you properly. You are so sweet! I really wanted to be a member of TFS, so it was a great gift...now I have to think of a good gift for you :D )
I feel the same! I still have a thing for round faces because of her, and still have a million of pictures of her saved on my computer
ReplyDeleteGemma fue una de las primeras modelos que me marcaron(la primera fue Natalia Vodianova en una revista de mi madre en mi casi infancia).
ReplyDeleteSe nota su ausencia y mucho.
This tribute was a wonderful idea and it's really refreshing for you to reintroduce to us a gallery of photos of Gemma... it really reminds me exactly what an overall heavenly aura she possesses. I admit I sometimes forget about her from time to time simply because she hasn't been doing much work lately! Supposedly she was hired to DJ a while ago for a benefit if I remember correctly but left out on the job... it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for her from this point in time.
ReplyDeleteMe parece una modelo fantástica y con una cara muy especial.
ReplyDeleteBeso!
No estaba enterada de su retiro!
ReplyDeleteque tristezaaa!
es muy hermosa
la adoro!

ohhhh.. Gemma, I miss her a lot. hope she will be bacck in someday. she is irreplaceable.
ReplyDeleteso fresh and beautiful girl!!
ReplyDeleteUm, she didn't 'retire.' I think she's been 'fired' from this line of work. There were a bunch of pictures that surfaced showing that she'd gained a ton of weight after the death of Heath Ledger.

So much for that retirement theory, huh....
She is so gorgeous and she is also very good In the black balloon. I remember watching it in class and some one asked whom she is, I said a wonderful model, and the girl said she looks like an alien! Funny thing is I never thought that, but i see were it is coming from. She is so unique!

ReplyDeletetiene algo especial y las fotos son increíbles.

Besos!

I love Gemma and yes I agree with you that she's The Model of the doll-faced generation. But is it just me that I don't see Sasha Pivovarova as a doll-faced one who you included in the bunch of these. I always see her as a "fierce face" and she and Gemma stands in two different groups, I love both of them! :)
ReplyDeleteq maravilla de fotos y con la melena tan scuximizada q tiene como se la han destacado
ReplyDeletebsss
Me encanta. es asi de simple y siempre lo será. conozco a una chica que me recuerda taaaanto a ella. es alta, rubia, delgadísima, con los labios carnosos, la misma nariz y los mismos ojos. transmite esa misma belleza niña-alien que puedes adorar o detestar. yo, personalmente, la adoro =)
ReplyDeletePL ♥
Preciosas las fotos!
ReplyDeleteGemma is my absolute favorite! I love her. Gorgeous post!
ReplyDeleteI hope she comes back to fashion, she was really too good for words!
ReplyDeleteMe he sentido identificada sobre lo que has escrito, fue una de las primeras modelos que ví sobre las pasarelas cuando me empecé a interesar por el mundo de la moda, desde entonces se convirtió en mi favorita.
ReplyDeleteTengo miles de fotos de ella, me parece especial, esos ojos lo transmiten todo.. Creo que debería volver, y espero que lo haga, o al menos que se deje ver más..
Un besito
me ha encantado volver a verla! gracias a tu blog y las imágenes preciosas! como nos olvidamos de gente que marcó épocas y tendencias, opino lo mismo que tu , era un rosotro my agradecido en fotografía, me ha encantado leerte,como siempre fabulosa!!
ReplyDeletebesos
jana

ReplyDeleteshe is so gorgeous, her eyes are unreal!
ReplyDeleteCreo q si generalizamos las modelos mas representativas de esta decadason Giselle Bundchen y Gemma Ward :)
ReplyDeletei posted something about her in my blog, like she's is currently a DJ ... i miss her anyways..

She was 'my first model' too, the first I recognized and admired everywhere... I really miss her now, but I hope it's for - her - best !
ReplyDeleteI miss her too! And I agree, she was and is very influential :)
ReplyDeleteI think she was good when she first came out, but as she got older she didn't grow into her face very well, if you know what I mean. I remember when her and Lily D were on the cover of vogueUK together when they were both 16....Lily is still an amazing model and really grew into her features, but Gemma's face got a little awkward looking to me
ReplyDeleteI miss Gemma, she's such an amazing model. I like the pictures you chose :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE GEMMA. she's always been the best and the original of the doll generation. she was such an amazing and influential model. glad she got out when she did. as long as she's happy now :)
ReplyDeleteHola! había oido hablar muy bien de ti y, ya se porq es! bueno, tengo un nuevo blog y me gustaria que opinaras sobre mi tarabajo, si te gusta y eso (espero que si) y que me dieras consejos. espero verte por alli!
