“When you see someone, you automatically start putting those people together - the eyes and the lips. And what that does is that it creates an identity with that person, so when they actually start working, the audience sees exactly what you're seeing, and they become recognizable. So instant recognition is when certain women and men have features that look like other people. So baby Gisele is, like, Linda V - that's what she was called for a long time.” PeopleMenLooksPersonsLongDoeEyeTogetherCertainAudienceSeeingIdentityBabyLong TimeMen And WomenLipsRecognitionFeaturesInstant Author:Michael Flutie
“You have to look for a unique quality in that person and it's not just always physical. I don't think models are great models because of their face or their body. Obviously, I think their physical characteristics are important, but I think it's very much about your personality and inner beauty and really understanding how to be a great model instinctively. And that's where it all comes from.” ThinkingLooksPersonsImportantBodyFacesUnderstandingQualityPersonalityUniqueModelsCharacteristicsInner Beauty Author:Michael Flutie
“If you look at the greatest models, it was because they were muses to photographers. They collaborated with the artist and they created the kind of images that become iconic.” IfsLooksKindArtistModelsPhotographerMuseIconic Author:Michael Flutie
“A girl's career today doesn't have the same kind of life span, whereas it used to be a collaboration and a partnership and it continued. Peter Lindbergh still uses girls - like, look at Amber Valetta - so there are some photographers that have relationships long-term with models. I also think that the industry can't support the amount of models that exist right now and therefore the relationships between photographers and models and even the clients is short lived.” ThinkingLooksKindLongStillsUseTodayUsedGirlTermCareersSupportIndustryAmountRight NowModelsPhotographerUsed To BeLong TermCollaborationPeterPartnershipClientsAmberShort LivedLife Span Author:Michael Flutie
“When you look at Steven Meisel's pictures and you see girls rolling around in mud or cars are blowing up? It takes a tremendous amount of courage to be able to do that. I think you have to be malleable, and that's what makes a truly great model. It's not the perfect lip or the perfect face, it's your own ability to take on a character and that's, I think, something there's a misconception about.” ThinkingLooksCharacterAbleFacesGirlAbilityPerfectCarAmountModelsLipsRollingMudMisconceptionBlowing UpPerfect FaceSteven Meisel Author:Michael Flutie
