Fernande's Changing Appearance


Nude models typically become less appealing and less popular with age, making room for newcomers. An interesting thing about Fernande is that the reverse was true for her: she became more appealing and more popular as she grew older.

With experience, Fernande refined her style and took more command of the frame as you can see in the photos below. A big part of her allure, however, is that her appearance changed radically over time, to the point where she appeared to be a different model. In fact, some of her postcards are dismissed as non-Fernande!



Although she began modeling as a slim teenager, for most of Fernande's career she was considered voluptuous. She continued to gain weight over the years and in her final sittings she was quite plump. Despite this, series like JA 105 and GA 104 have a solid following. An acquired taste for sure, but a popular one nonetheless.

To the uninitiated it's difficult to reconcile these different "looks" as being the same person. But that's what makes Miss Fernande so fascinating to her fans.
