“Within that circle of the best of the best [photographers], you could be a sexy as you wanted, as silly as you wanted, whatever it was, you could even take your clothes off, but it was always elegant, which was very important. Ellen von Unwerth was a model before, so she really knew how to bring out the silly sides in you, the child in you—there was a sensitivity to her approach.”

“Peter Lindbergh is German; he comes from the same area where I come from. He loves everything quite smudgy—makeup, dark eyes. Everything has an edge, and I think that’s him as a person.”

“I just loved all the hair and the makeup [at that time]; there was so much to play with. At the fashion shows, girls used to arrive really early to make sure they’d be getting done by one of [the top makeup artists or hair stylists], not by the junior team.”
