In the seventies and eighties we were usually waiting to see what Saint Laurent had done simply to know in which direction fashion was going. The power of the dresses! The grandeur! The girls so tall and imperious! I loved the beginning of the fashion shows, which started with looks that were mannish and strict, then progressed to the amazing colors of the dresses. If you went to Morocco, where he kept one of his most beautiful homes, La Majorelle, set in an intricate perfumed garden that, once seen, was never forgotten, you would understand. Le smoking, his version of a man's tuxedo for women, so chic and flattering; the indulgence and voluptuoness of the Ballets Russes collection; the Braque collection; Cocteau; Picasso; Russian peasants; Spanish toreadors; Porgy and Bess – so much creativity and such prolific talent that just sitting and watching it was exhausting. I feel very fortunate to have seen those shows; to me, they were like series of art exhibits. I did faint a couple of times of the early days but I'm not sure if that did'nt come from missing breakfast rather than being overcome by emotion. Whatever it was, Bea Miller would revive me with the barley sugar sweets she kept in her handbag expressly for that purpose.

Två favoritmodeller när jag bodde i Paris, blonda tyska amazonkvinnan Nadja Auermann och coola Kristen McMenamy med karaktäristisk intelligent skönhet (exakt). Jag hade ett svagt minne av att Nadja Auermanns ben var modellvärldens längsta med en innerbenlängd à 115 cm men det kan inte stämma – mätte på mig nu och min är ca 90 cm och jag är 1.83. Med långa ben. Jag har sett Steven Meisel, front row. Stella Tennant.
