^She looks so different! Love it.

 

[Thanatos]

She looks so soft and ethereal in the ed. Beautiful. Some of them remind me of pre-raphaelite painting or something

 

[Festat]

Goodness, I spent days to check all the 462 pages of this thread, hahaha. ♥

She indeed looks very different in that last ed, especially in the first picture. Ethereal is the word, like Thanatos said.

I know, at the moment he has an appetite for rather bland looking girls (Anna J). But, I would love for her to work with him in the future. You never know, he does change favourite's quite often. I read somewhere that he likes to be the one who discovers the models. And considering Cat was discovered and signed exclusive to Testino, even if he did like her he probably wouldn't work with her. She is a bit like sloppy seconds for him. He has recently been working with Isabeli and Natasha. So maybe in 5 years time he may work with Catherine. But then again, maybe she just isn't his type.

^^ um ok. She sounds a little dumb there. The bogan from Logan indeed. I'm glad that she could confirm for me that Riccardo Tisci is, in fact, a man, as I would have never guessed from his name (or the hundreds of photos I've seen of him).

Anyway, I'm still convinced that she's quite sweet in person.

Some comments are unnecessarily harsh. Dismissing her comment as that of a "bogan from Logan" is quite elitist.

I think anyone who read that quote would clearly understand what she meant.

I have often said to my hairstylist that although he's a man, he styles female hair better than any woman ever could.

^ She called herself a bogan from logan to start with. Yes, I know that she was not comfirming the sex of Tisci; I was being sarcastic.

I just thought that her comment that he designs well for women even though he is a man was kind of redundant and silly given that men have been designing just as successfully for women as other women have for many years. In fact, the designers of many of the most prestigious luxury brands are men, and they wouldn't be in these positions if women didn't want their clothes. So why she felt the need to excuse the fact that Tisci isn't female is beyond me.

Maybe because she's young, she couldn't articulate what she meant clearly (plus the interviewer edited the interview so as to only include certain comments and omitted more intelligent things she said?), thus she came off as a bit silly and superficial, although she probably is a perfectly nice girl in real life.

 

[Thanatos]

She does not come of as superficial or silly at all imo, the exact opposite. Whenever I have seen her in interviews she seems like a sweet, down to earth and slightly awkward girl. What I got was that he knows how to design for women and give women what they want, not all designers are capable of that. But I do agree with rox yr sox, it probably was edited to make the interview shorter.

 

[rox_yr_sox]

^ My comments only related to my impressions of her from that particular interview not in general. In other interviews I've seen, I agree that she does seem sweet and down to earth.

 

[Boomer]

^ One of the oldest arguments in fashion...Coco Chanel, in her typically nasty way, was vehemently against men designers- saying They have never understood women, never had a woman and wish they were women!! She believed if you could not wear the clothes you could never understand how they should move and fit- in some ways a good argument, I suppose, but there are plenty of women spending huge money buying clothes designed by men, so I doubt it's really a big issue in reality...I mean- DVF and Stella McCartney would be putting Michael Kors and Karl out of business if it were that important!! But beautiful Catherine has a point, too!

 

[Thanatos]

^Good point. But anyway in the interview she says she worked with Gisele, I don't remember ever seeing the two together in print.
