Gilles Bensimon, in the meanwhile you became famous in America?

I never realised that because we were so busy doing the magazine, and in any case people in America didn’t like us very much. They were not nice at all. After that, there were 14 Elle magazines in the world.

Where did you shoot the photographs?

Everywhere. At the beginning, we had no real fashion editor so Regis Pagniez and I did creative tricks. Regis was very talented, and I was very lucky because Regis already had a great experience with Daniel Filipacchi. I learned a lot from Regis. I brought something but he brought the other part.

You photographed the super models such as Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista and Claudia Schiffer?

Yes, at this time, but the problem was Condé Nast was so powerful in America that we tried to think of different girls.

Did you have a relationship with the designers?

The beginning was so much work with Regis that, while we sometimes went to the shows in New York, we would never go to the shows in Paris or Milan. When they did send me to Milan
