whoops correction, that was from Fendi Spring 2009 and not from the Fall show ^_^
 
so cute :wub: to the point that I just had to make one picture as my avatar :lol:
Sigrid does have the best smile :heart:
 
is there any kindred soul who'd like to translate what she said in the video, i just had a nosebleed trying to process all that
french. lol kidding :p Sigrid looked real nice in the video, and great to see Mama Bambi's cameo appearance as well :heart:
 
:lol: I'm on it, give me some minutes, I'm just waiting my computer to be nice to me again.
 
Sorry guys for the delay, the video wasn't working for me, and it replayed by itself a few times :blink: this is basically what she says:

Voilà, Dior, Lanvin, later Pedro Lourenço, this morning I did Haider Ackermann. Later I'll do Viktor & Rolf, Cacharel and Jean-Paul Gaultier tonight. There you go, a lot. I started 7h30 this morning, yesterday I finished about 23h00, so it's ok so far, but sometimes I can finish even later and start even earlier.

So is it your mother?
Yes!

Is she always with you?
No. She doesn't always come over, but when she can, she thinks about me, she brings me food. It's true this is not easy, I'm always in a hurry.
This is my fourth season, I started at 16, so I begin doing a correspondence course, because I quit school. I passed the bac in June. Those who succeed at having a career, and always have works to do, that suceed at becoming a household name, that are respected. It's true it's something I think every girl dreams to do.

I'm going to dress up.

I've just finished doing Cacharel. I have to go to Valentino pretty fast for a casting, I have another casting later. (sorry I didn't get for which brand)

Your tips about how to be a good model

Patience, first of all, we're always waiting a lot in the backstage.
Well, for Cacharel it was kind of fast, I arrived only 10 minutes before the show began. You also have to have perseverance, sometimes things don't happen immediately, even though you have to continue, not give up. You have to love travelling, meeting new people, because we're always travelling alone, and we're always getting to know new people.

On the runway, why don't models smile?
Models are there to highlight a dress, the clothes. It's not like a beauty pagent, where the focus is the woman herself.
 
^ Thank you! She's so beautiful and her personality seems so sweet and nice. (Kind of funny when they washed her hair in the sink in the toilets, lol)
 
^I hope you don't mind if I post it .. she's so charming :crush:


"Two hours in the (horrible) life of a model"

She starts out just listing some shows she's just done and which one's she's doing later (you can probably hear that).

Then "I started at 7:30 this morning and last night I finished at 11:00" (I guess she means 11:00 PM) "but you can end up finishing a lot later or starting a lot earlier sometimes."

Then her mum comes by and offers to get her food, which she accepts. The lady asks if it's her mother, she says yes. She says occasionally she can come see the show and she's thoughtful & brings her things to eat, because it's so busy backstage.

Then she says "so now it's my 4th season" ... and then she says something about her school but I don't really understand the references but she passed a level or something in June.

Then she says models who have a long career, who make a name for themselves, who are still working today - that's the kind of job a girl dreams about!

Then "Je vais m'habiller" = I'm going to go get dressed.

The sign on the door "OI ETTES" lol .. I guess it used to say "toilettes".

In the cab she says "I've just finished Cacharel show, and now I'm going to Valentino for a casting, and then for Gucci."

text: Her advice for being a good model? "Patience first of all. You have to wait a lot, like backstage - well there for example at Cacharel it was quite quick because I arrived 10 minutes before the show. And you need perseverance because things don't happen right away, but you have to stick with it and continue. You have to like traveling, you have to enjoy meeting lots of new people and creating connections, because you're traveling alone and you meet lots of people so if you like that, it's a dream job!" *adorable smile*

text: On the runway why don't models smile? "I think the model is chosen to showcase the clothing, it isn't like a contest where it's about the girl" .. then "So yes that's why I think it is." *another adorable smile*

Then she says thanks. :D

Ok maybe ckgirlbr will post a better translation. :D
