I'd say 'absolutely' not, but I nearly 'always' get it wrong!
So it 'probably' is!!!!

Hope that makes sense

Hi there!

Definitely not Isabelle Adjani I'm afraid.

It's a photo-shoot from Playmen, July 1979 by photographer Michel Richard with an anonymous model referred to as "Isabelle" but specifically said to not be Isabelle Adjani.

The photo-shoot is an erotic interpretation of the film The Story of Adele H (1975) which starred Isabelle Adjani.

The text that goes along with it, explains its inspiration & that the model used is not Adjani, though it is in Italian which I think has led to the confusion to non speakers.

It's possible to see the text & only understand the "Isabelle Adjani" & the mention of "Adele H" combined with the model's intentional likeness to Adjani & come to the wrong conclusion.

Fabrizio has posted pages from this edition where you can see the above photos & the rest of the shoot here:

Isabelle. Isabelle... sang languidly Charles Aznavour. Then Isabelle Adjani came. And the words of Aznavour took a body, a face, an image. But Isabelle is not a prototype, she is an archetype. In sinister language you could say: "one, one hundred, a Thousand Isabelle". This one that we present to you is an anonymous Isabelle (but for how much longer, anonymous? The Isabelles are, by definition, vocation and nature destined for success) style Adele H. Little revised and a little corrected. But, under the imitation, there is her, the real Isabelle. Not Adjani, not an imitation, but a beautiful, unique, desirable little Isabelle. Something that remains..."

Hope this is of interest!

The italian notes claimed "She's not Isabelle Adjani..." then a joke..."but she's Isabelle".

The real one in Adele H.
