“Through my work as a model I naturally became interested in photography.. fashion photography, and at the beginning it was from the magazines of the time. That’s how I discovered the photos of Avedon, Irving Penn, Newton or Guy Bordin. And then it was through opportunity, the long waits in the studios during the fashion collections, and the chance of having a Nikon on loan, that I was able to start shooting back stage, and outside. I would take shots of my model colleagues. Yes, after 50 years of activity I define myself as a photographer”

“For me personally I believe in a feminine sensibility which is not necessarily exclusive to women”

~ Sarah Moon

"A dress is a piece of ephemeral architecture, designed to enhance the proportions of the female body. The detail is as important as the essential is."

~ Christian Dior

"The photograph came off as planned. What had seemed to some as too dangerous or difficult to accomplish, became my fantasy fulfilled, and my most memorable self–assigned photograph."

~ Ormond Gigli

"If you ever saw me on a set—not now that I'm 94, but when I photographed for real, you know, on my feet—the moment I got interested in what I was doing, my shoes went off. I would get on the paper, dance barefoot, dance for the models, move in the way I wanted them to move, really dance barefoot in front of the camera, take on the body movements that I felt would get them to move—actually to dance in front of the camera."

~ Lillian Bassman
(1917 - 2012)

"The key point is not the technique of how the image was made, but the idea and the vision."
