Week#2

Description: "Most times, eyes, a smile and body language speak louder than words. We didn't know [***] but once we saw her image we were hit by what we saw as a radical, straightforward, special beauty. We felt that she was with us, off beaten tracks and that we would get along. She is true to herself, uncompromising, we are different and, yes, we get along."

~Martin Margiela

Description: "[***] has been working with me since the very first show. She is an amazing modern woman with a special personality that combines fragility to strength in a sublime poetical harmonic way. She is just beautiful. That's the reason why the leopard and the butterfly goes symbolically together."

~Yves Saint Laurent

Description: "[***] lives and rules okay!"

~Stella McCartney

Description: "[***] embodies everything that I find appealing. He is elegant, lithe, dark, gentle and handsome – everything I'm not."

~Simon Foxton

Description: [***] was a natural choice for my muse. We are involved creatively and I really appreciate and respect her eye for things. Even if it's just a trip down the weave shop or getting ready to go out, she has a truly unique approach to dress, with an equal balance of fun and elegance. I also live with her... how fitting! She helps me sort out the things I can't sort out."

~Gareth Pugh

Description: "Because there is only one [***]"

~Vivienne Westwood

Description: "I wanted to have a representation of a woman who was curvaceous and beautiful as this shape of woman has been a great importance to me and my work. Robin Derrick who has been working with life drawing lately recommended [***]. After the session Sam McKnight said he had never seen a girl model more beautifully, which is a real compliment considering who he has worked with over the years."

~Nick Knight

Description: "We don't really like the word ‘muse'. It sounds very passive, whereas our admiration or appreciation is for people who actively contribute something to our world. Like Tilda Swinton or Tori Amos who have participated in our shows, or Rufus Wainwright who has written a song for our new men's perfume ‘Antidote'. [***] is someone we like to be around with and with whom we feel at ease. This sounds very simple but for us it is rare that this happens. She compliments us with an easy and outgoing character and a taste for glamorous fashion that is a part of our world. We like free, opinionated people and [***] is definitely one of them."

~Viktor & Rolf

Description: "I think my clothes should be able to speak for themselves and in many ways a model provides a blank canvas on which they can be seen. However during this specific project, [***] came to represent youth and vitality and her freshness brought energy to the process and the end product."

~Hussein Chalayan

Description: "I met [***] at her first session of the Paris Shows. When she came to do a fitting I felt like all of my fingers had been put into the electrical socket like PWOAH!! Pure electricity and a fantastic positive energy that we hadn't seen around for a long time. It had been ages since there had beensuch a strong personality. [***] embodies the heat and the passion and the personality that is the essence of wow.

~Christian Dior

Description: "[***] is chic and has poise and I like that. He is one of the few people in the fashion world who still actually does some thinking."

~Kilgour

Description: "Apart from [***] obvious intuitive and irreverent style, what really appeals to me is that she knows herself. Her quiet confidence, lack of pretense, perfectionism, dedication and passion to push the boundaries are real. What you see is what you get - that could be different on any given day but it will always reflect her true self."

~Alexander McQueen
