Anna Bayle

First aired November 2001 on TFC / ABS-CBN produced Stateside, People, Places, and Things, Filipino American. My role: editor.

[@jasonnosaj858]

Before the supermodel trinity was made (Linda,Christy,Naomi), the modelling industry had Iman, Dalma and Anna Bayle

[@georgessitjar-sargent7330]

The best thing about Anna Bayle is her humility and honesty. She rightfully acknowledges her success but without airs. She is the quintessential runway Diva and models should be inspired by her not just in style, but in personality.

[@rullywintour]

A perfect diva catwalk. Her moving steps are just perfect...flawless. No asian female model (as I remember) has accomplished such an achievement like she did....

[@deejay2023jvr]

It's Melanie Marquez who did the same accomplishments in international modelling.

[@denniscabubas7189]

Its like, whatever era we had as Filipinos, there was one outstanding countrymen who really making us proud even up to these days. I hope we will continue making legacy for our country.

[@wvanderwahl]

Anna was so exquisite and refined- at one point she had a line of lipstick sold at Henri Bendel in New York in the early to mid 90's? Don't remember the exact year. I thought she was amazing. In the 80's before the internet there was video fashion monthly which I watched every month while I was a student at F.I.T. Anna was in every important show that you can imagine. She is not forgotten.

[@marcodeyto8520]

And take note that in the time of 80s, She's not just the first asian supermodel but she is also the number 1 most talented supermodel... And she is also one of the most highest paid supermodels during their time... Even the present day i think

[@Citylightstar]

According to @chrismayo2647, anna could not do anything except turn and twirl...hahaha Naomi was mentored by Anna. That is why Naomi copied the hair flip and she tried and failed to copy the Bayle walk. Not even close but u can see how hard she tried when Anna retired from modelling

[@ooooo000ooooo]

She’s beautiful. And it’s nice to see an example of a Filipina with classical beauty that doesn’t look more European with pale skin. Not that it’s wrong to look that way but that’s usually the type promoted by Filipinos

[@stalematesibling]

5:32 that walk with iman! QUEENS!

[@gelineavenir5905]

Her sister was a close friend of my sister and we all were in the same University in the Philippines. She modeled for the designer I worked for and blossomed into one of the most sought after models. She's truly amazing!

[@loraynecaburubias9079]

She has the most amazing walk!

[@clicktock]

Great video! Anna Bayle should consider writing a book and have it published in the U.S. She's got so many great stories to tell. She's worked with the best top designers of haute couture in Europe such as Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Thierry Mugler, Christian Lacroix and so many more. And top American fashion designers. Carolina Herrera, Oscar dela Renta, Michael Kors, Bob Mackie, Isaac Mizrahi. And the who's who of top fashion photographers. Helmut Newton, Patrick Demarchelier. The list of all of whom she had woked with is quite long and quite distinguished.

[@SPLiixD]

I just absolutely adore how she aged so gracefully. And how brown her skin is. Morenas are gaining popularity in the Philippines, but I know how much Filipino women don't like the colour of their dark skin. She's absolutely beautiful, a perfect role model.

[@ladyagwanta3084]

Sad truth a lot of ladies and gentlemen in the Philippines only accepts white skin.

Its great seeing her again- a true classic!

[@Ivy-xz2xl]

Wow 🤩. I want to see a full video of her catwalks through her entire career. I wish a video like that exists. The way she wears and carries each clothe is elegant and graceful. She carries the clothes well, but also her entire body. She looks so natural effortless. Like a goddess walking in the clouds.

When I worked for Tony Cajucom in his Manila Atelier. I was on of the hand-painter for the beautiful gowns for Hyatt fashion show. There was Guada, Eva Reyes & Anna Bayle was very new in modelling scene and was not the star of the show., I recall the designer admire Anna's body as it was the perfect frame & bones. Annd, then, I read she went to Hong Kong and to Paris and the rest was history. Back in UP, I rode with her in a bus too and she was a member of the volleyball team. Her sister, Jopay used to hang out in our house ein UP campus, though we were never intoroduced, we were around the same circle back in the days. That's why I followed her career, as I am so proud of how she has managed to be so famous in the Internnational fashion scene. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Here is a more artistic compilation of her runway walks kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4DaYnibrM-td5osi=x8O8o7rKcsWAXjAF

The TRIO: IMAN, ANNA AND DALMA

[@wffw6021]

The comments are so funny-- they are so invested in this thing. Let's just say that Anna was there, on top, before the "Supers" and she was still walking alongside them when they got more popular and famous. As far as their walks-- they all walk differently. They're from different generations of models so they will have different walks. Even today, new models have different walks... and of course it is inevitable that the newer generation of models would have been inspired by the older generation.

[@padreyfart8261]

and your point is?

[@Citylightstar]

So what do you want us to think exactly? We adore Anna and it is none of your strutting business 😅

Anna was fabulous! No doubt. However, an even earlier Asian model who rose to the top, and…AND, had a mannequin in her likeness by Rootstein, was superstar Sayoko Yamaguchi. Let’s not forget. But we still love Anna.

[@jbak87]

Sayoko was probably the first or one of the first ones in the international fashion scene. Janice Dickinson - who looks very Asian but has only acknowledged her white ancestry - was also a major model in the 70's.

I always hear the comparison between Melanie Marquez and Ana Bayle...Though I love love Melanie I don’t/never see proof of her/their claim saying that she walked/modeled for this or that, top model etc. ( other than the Supermodel of the World 1986 video) on the other hand Ms. Bayle has many video evidence.

you are right..anna bayle is a legit supermodel..ive been looking for her old videos and i discovered a lot of it...she was able to work with big brands and well known designers like versace.. she walked in the catwalk along with naomi campbell, cindy crawford, and many others..
