If I only translate the part where she's interviewed, she first decribes that she liked doing this shoot as it had been a long time she was in Paris. and liked going there again as she studies Art history at the moment and appreciates the city differently now. Then she says they started working on a very relaxed weekend schedule for this shoot, and the photographer knew exactly what he wanted so everything went easy and fast. She needed to get used to it again, but it wasn't any different than a few years ago.

Q1 which piece of clothing or accessory would you like to take home from this shoot?
Kim: The stylist brought an amazing pair of Crocodile shoes but I would never wear them as crocodiles belong in a river and not at my feet.
Q2 About what did you dream last night?
Kim: I dreamt about the house where I grew up.
Q3 what were you like as a child and growing up, what kind of youth did you have?
Kim: I was a bit shy, which I still am actually. I grew up in Amsterdam and had three siblings. My father made a big swing in our garden, I think every child should have a swing!
Q4: Which shows you walked do you think were the most spectacular?
Kim: the first shows I walked did leave an impression: Rochas, Marc Jacobs and Alexander McQueen, those were Shows with a big S. the sound, lights, tall girls, the most amazing outfits. And Jean Paul Gaulthier's shows too actually, very theatrical.
Q: Shoots or Shows, what is your preference?
Kim: Shoots, they are more diverse and you can do more. I love pictures and there is more contact with the people you're working with, which actually can be a plus or a con but most of the time everything is alright.
Q6: Other models like Coco Rocha, Anne-Marie Van Dijk and Lonneke Engel take a stand for a more environment conscious model world or for more guidance/supervision for models. Do you, as a supermodel who can be an example for many others, think it's important to express an opinion about those issues?
Kim: what those girls do is so great. Everybody is an example for others and has a responsibility to take, for themselves but also for others. I think I'm taking mine, yes. A couple of year ago I participated in a show/ television programme that paid attention to the health of young women and models, in particular focussing on eating disabilities. But it was too close for me, at that moment I couldn't really mean something for them. I was going through some thing myself and when I think about it now, it really didn't fit my rather closed personality to share all that.
Q7: What would you like to say to your younger self, the girl that just started modelling?
Kim: Ten years ago I graduated and that same summer I started working fulltime as a model. But actually I didn't see it as work, I travalled to NY and Paris and didn't know what was happening or what to expect. It had been better if I did see it as a job, so I would have taken less personal.
Q8 What makes you happy?
Kim: The app Catwang, a pass for the cinema, harbours, the freckles on the love of my life's shoulders, the amazing people around me, drawnings, travelling, pictures. And no, that doesn't include twitter and instragram, I'm not very active on social media. I hate selfies, and, especially, duckfaces!
Q9; What other work are you up to besides modelling?
Kim: 'Rocking' my Spanish guitar. I know it will never happen but is doesn't hurt to dream, right? Something more serious: I'm studying art history and find it incrediblly interesting, but I'm not sure what I can and want to do with it. A regular week in my life? I study, study and study! Haha no that's actually not true, wish it were true though. After living so many years from day to day, I don't have a lot of discipline. But it is true that my studies are my most important 'occupation' at the moment.
Q10: Do you have any wished for 2014?
Kim: A boy in the train told me that 2014 is the year of the Horse, which means that you can reach your goals fast/easy. Maybe this means that this year I will finally be able to poach an egg!
I'm hoping for an interview translation!
