Fashion Quotes #2: Stranger than Paradise by Tim Walker

Giorgio Armani blouse, skirt, and pants; Haider Ackermann dress; Ann Demeulemeester top; Cornelia James gloves; Prada gaiters and socks.

“I don't believe in originality. You take inspiration from whatever moves you and you find your voice in those things.”

“I don’t want to sound mystical but sometimes when you take a picture – when the sets are in place – then something takes over and leads you. It’s this sense of extraordinary luck and chance. The shoot is blessed and charmed, and you make pictures that you couldn’t in your wildest dreams have imagined. That is the magic of photography.”

“The point of fashion is that you take the picture you want. And fashion is the only photography that allows fantasy, and I’m a fantasist.”

—  Tim Walker
