“The secret to modelling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new.”
— Karl Lagerfeld,
German creative director, fashion designer, photographer and artist
“Modelling is about fantasy, getting people to buy into a lifestyle and a vision.”
