Dear Leandra, I’ve been following the ‘circus’ debate, watched the videos (Gargage, BOF), and tried to keep up with all the comments and I’m 100% on your side. It’s a very mudded debate though. Each time I want to formulate my response… READ MORE
I never do much research on the girls I shoot. I’m content with a one-liner bio and a quick scan of their google images page. Yes, OK, they must look at least half decent, but I trust the taste and… READ MORE
Last season I tweeted from my seat at Valentino that if I ever got married again I would wear the closing dress at my wedding. I got a prompt reply from cyberspace that Valentino would be delighted to have me…. READ MORE
