Supermodel Amber Valletta’s Most Daring, Memorable Moments in W Magazine

by W Staff

In the past year and a half, supermodel Amber Valletta has had a fashion renaissance of sorts. During the Fall 2017 season alone, she walked for Michael Kors, Isabel Marant, Versace, and Dries Van Noten’s landmark 100th show. As Valletta told us in a recent interview, “It’s not like I haven’t done shows in 15 years, but really being more in it is different.” She’s plunged back into runway work, and she appeared in a Jamie Hawkesworth shoot alongside Natalie Westling, Karen Elson, and more in W‘s March 2017 issue. With very welcome resurgence, we look back on a legend of the ’90s and early Aughts and her best moments in the pages—and on the cover—of W magazine, then and now.
