Kubalandeli bemfashini abafike eminyakeni yobudala ngasekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa namashumi ayisishiyagalombili, kunezikhangiso ezithile eziyisithonjana nezici zosaziwayo ezihlale zivutha emiqondweni—futhi kungenzeka ukuthi kwaba ukusebenzisana phakathi komthwebuli wezithombe uBruce Weber kanye nomdwebi wesitayela u-Paul Cavaco. Basebenza ndawonye iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabili, kodwa ekugcineni ukuphila komkhaya namathuba emisebenzi emisha kwababangela ukuba baqale ukwenza amaphrojekthi ahlukene. Kuze kube manje: ngemva kweminyaka eyishumi nesithupha ngokwahlukana, i-VMAN ijabule kakhulu ukuhlanganisa i-power duo ngesici semfashini esinamakhasi angama-28 kumagazini wethu wokuwa. Sahlonishwa lapho bevuma futhi ukwabelana ngemininingwane mayelana nomlando wabo omude nobungane obuhlala njalo, kanye nezindaba ezimbalwa ezingemuva kwezigcawu zesikhathi sabo esidlule.
Umthwebuli wezithombe kanye nomdwebi wesitayela baqala ukuhlangana ekuthwebuleni ngo-1976, ezinsukwini zokuqala zikaCavaco njengemodeli. "Ngingumfanekiso wemodeli kaBruce Weber," echaza ngesizotha. “Kafushane, akwakhiwe nhlobo… bekuyihlumela labantu bangempela.” Noma kunjalo, uWeber wabona okuthile kule nsizwa lapho eyikhipha ohlwini ukuze asize ekugqokiseni abanye abafana. "Ngangingazi ukuthi ngenzani, ngakho ngangingenayo imithetho," kusho uCavaco. Ukhomba uKezia Keeble, isoka lakhe ngaleso sikhathi, njengomeluleki wakhe wokuqala. (Umufi u-Keeble uyinganekwane ngokwakhe: owayengumhleli weVogue okwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi wathola inkampani enamandla yokukhangisa neyokukhangisa i-KCD neCavaco kanye noJohn Duka, umbhali wemfashini we-New York Times.) “Ngafundiswa uKezia ukuthi bheka okwenzekayo, ukubuka ukuthi uBruce wayethandani, nokubuka isithombe sisonke,” usho kanje. "Kwakungekhona nje ngezingubo, kwakumayelana nesithombe."
Ngokushesha ngemva kwalowo mhlangano owawunenhlanhla, u-Weber wacela i-Cavaco ukuthi isize kuhlu lokukhangisa futhi baqala ukusebenza ndawonye ngokuqhubekayo, bephusha zonke izinhlobo zemingcele njengoba behamba. Thatha indaba yezingubo zangaphansi zasekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa ye-Soho Weekly News ehambisana nomodeli u-Jeff Aquilon, u-Weber amhlwitha eqenjini le-polo yamanzi e-Pepperdine University. U-Weber uthi: “UPaul wayenza ngendlela yonke leyo nto, kusukela embotsheni yamasokisi kuya kweyakudala,” kusho u-Weber. “Kufanele uqonde ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi lezo zinhlobo zezinto zingenzeki. Amadoda ayengazenzi ngempela lezo zinhlobo zezithombe. UPawulu wayehlale ecabanga phambili. Wayenomuzwa wokuba umgwaqo, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo wayenomuzwa wobuhle.”
Kunomlando omningi wemfashini phakathi kwalezi zingqondo ezimbili zokudala, ezinye zazo zihlangene phakathi kwama-80's kuya kuma-90's. Izikhathi eziyisithonjana ngokusebenzisa ilensi ye-Weber nesitayela esihle se-Cavaco.
