ჩემი პირველი შეხება ფოტოგრაფიასთან ამ წიგნით დაიწყო, იმის მერე დიდი დრო გავიდა და დღეს მაგნუმზე ისევ ვიპოვე 'მარპესა'. The first time Ferdinando Scianna has seen the top-model Marpessa, it was in photography, a small photography issued from the collection fall-winter 87, showed by the two italian designers Dolce & Gabbana. They asked him to work for them. The book surpasses the classic definition of fashion photographs. It's simply like an sensual italian movie in black & white, as a long time ago...
About me: I'm one of those people whose childhood dream came through! I was a Top model in the 80s & 90's, also dubbed the Catwalk Contessa, won a Fashion Oscar in Paris for best runwaymodel back in 87 and worked with all the major photographers, magazines and Designers of the time. Was a favourite of Alaia, Versace, Lagerfeld, Kenzo, Calvin Klein and a Muse to Dolce&Gabbana since they started out. I have traveled the world extensively, lived in Paris, New York, Milan, met the most amazing people from all walks of life. I'm fluent in English, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch and sometimes find myself mixing them up in conversation... Was "forced" to retire (lol) when the grunge and minimalist (horror!) thing got started but found a way to express my class & style in interior-decorating and photography & to nurture my soul by living in the country, getting my hands dirty in the soil, tearing down walls, building 'm up again. Amazingly I've been doing some great fashion shoots as well! In 2005 I was blessed with a beautiful daughter, Ariël, and we divide our time between Ibiza and Amsterdam, my hometown.
