Laetitia Casta

Laetitia Casta is, to me, the rare model who refused to be defined by her face. Born in 1978 in Normandy, she rose through GUESS, Victoria's Secret, and L'Oreal to become a defining supermodel of the 1990s. But what fascinates me is the second act: actress, screenwriter, and film director, plus the honor of being chosen as the model for Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic. Her Legion of Honour and Arts and Letters awards confirm she became a cultural figure, not just a beautiful image. I deeply admire her move to the storytelling side of the camera.
