delicious lunch in Paris; quick sandwich in NYC

 

In Jerry Hall's book, she mentions an artist named Ed Roche.  Canadian.  Above is one of his paintings.

New York

In Paris I had worked with the great photographers such as Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, Jeanloup Sieff and Sarah Moon.  This was the fashion world's equivalent of graduating from Yale with honours and I went straight to the top of the agency's list.  There were no more 'go sees' for me, I was booked every day.

        ...Work New York-style was a shock to the system after Paris.  In Paris we all considered ourselves artists and didn't start work till 11am, and then had big breaks for proper, delicious lunches.  In New York, it was early starts and a quick sandwich for lunch.  The work was much harder and the clothes were often less glamorous.

        I soon realized that being a model in America was more than just producing beautiful pictures; it was selling a dream.  And it was a ruthless business -- I was told I would last five years if I was lucky. ----------------------- [end / excerpt]
