“You’ll never forget your first VOGUE cover! This one is mine.For more than eight years I was a regulary contributor forJapan Vogue. On a monthly base I made a lot of illustrations for the magazine.

This one in particulary is made for a shoe special. The shoe is Prada but the placement on the head is Schiaparelli of course! The original illustrations is mirrored because in Japan you flip backwards through your magazine or book!!”
