“There is something so artistic about Cara, something naïf and complex at the same time. Her genuine enthusiasm, combined with her raw sexiness and her fun side, gives her such a unique charm … I needed to shoot her to bring it out… The photos really represent who she is, she wasn’t only taking my directions well, but making them hers by rolling with them.” – GIAN ANDREA DI STEFANO
