At first I thought strictly about a book of photographs on fashion.
As I worked on it, I thought more and more about something my
friend the late, great fashion designer Gianni Versace once said,
in giving me advice before an assignment, “Call me des mode, but
give me beauty.”And with these inspired words I wanted to make a
record of how I journeyed out into the world and recorded what most
people call fashion. These photographs were not just about the
shape of clothes, but also how one sees fashion in nature,
architecture, and in the human spirit.When I began photographing, I
was at Life Magazine borrowing some equipment. I ran into a bunch
of other photographers in the camera department. One photographer
asked, “what kind of photos are you doing for the magazineť” I
replied, “I am going to do some pictures of girls in bathing
suits.” They all burst out laughing at me, and said, “that doesn’t
sound too serious.” That’s when I knew that as a photographer I
didn’t want people to stop laughing with me.That laughter can be
found in a picture of a girl wearing a dress by Yohji Yamamoto
that’s so big she can’t even walk in it or a boy wearing twigs as a
tunic at Karl Lagerfeld’s chateau in Brittany or the Duchess of
Devonshire feeding her pet chickens in a Jean Patou couture evening
dress from the 1940s. In this crazy world of ours, most things
don’t make sense any more, but the wonderful thing about taking
pictures of people wearing or not wearing clothes is that maybe you
won’t solve all the world’s problems but you’ll at least be giving
back a seed of imagination to our garden of lost innocence. And
it’s fashion that can create a big fantasy life for all those who
enter.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
