Tina and Michael Chow
The American beauty of Japanese and German extraction that was Tina Chow. She was the muse of minimalism: sleek, clipped hair, minimal makeup, a daily uniform of white T-shirts, black Kenzo trousers, and maybe one of her bamboo-wrapped crystal jewels. The epitome of all that was fresh and captivating about the 80s.
Sadly, her life would be cut short by the specter of the 80s, AIDS. Tina Chow died on 24 January 1992 at the age of 41.

she was such an interesting woman.
Another fascinating woman. I loved her chunky jewellery she desingned and I really admire a woman who collected Fortuny clothing - she looked magnificent in them.
She was so beautiful, wasn't she?
