When model Sigrid Argen asked the Chanel headmaster how to become a supermodel he had quite a lot of advice:

“It’s not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second..other models today, people think, Is she this one or that one?

It depends on what you are ready to give, the kind of life you bring, what may be exciting or disappointing … You can’t accuse anyone of not doing enough to help you, because, besides yourself, there’s nothing anyone can do. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new. But it’s the most … (hits hand on table) unjust … (hits hand on table) thing in the world.”
