Gia's image was a perfect match for fashion photographer Chris Von Wangenheim, who was well-known for his "violent, off-colored fashion layouts." In October of 1978, Wangenheim and Gia collaborated on a project for Vogue Magazine. The photographer asked Gia if she would stay after the shoot so that he could do some nude photography with her. He also asked well-known make-up artist Sandy Linter to hang around. Gia took her clothes off and posed for the camera standing nude behind a chain-linked fence.
Gia fell in love with Linter and the two started a romance that became the talk of the fashion business. "She sent flowers to me, and she really sort of courted me, which I thought was adorable. Eventually I did go out with her. She's the type of person at that time, and anyone who knew her at the time can tell you, if she showed up on your doorsteps and you opened the door and she got in your apartment she was there, that’s it," Sandy explained. To Gia’s disappointment, her romance with Sandy sputtered on and off again for months until it had nowhere else to go.
In January of 1980, Gia's mentor and agent, 40-year old Wilhelmina Cooper, was diagnosed with lung-cancer. Gia was devastated and as a result, turned to drugs. A month later in a photo shoot in the Caribbean, fashion editor Sean Byrnes, detected Gia's drug abuse: "In the rough ocean everything is splashing and crashing around on this little boat and cabin cruiser and I find this little package on the floor, I look at it and I say 'uhmm, not good,' so I throw it overboard and then the poopoo hits the fan on the island because she doesn’t have her drugs." Gia ended up crying and very upset to the point where Scavullo literally had to lay on the bed with her until she fell asleep. On the right is snapshot of Gia on the boat on the way to the Caribbean.
