Not large, not lean, not through-slammed: Against all rules of the mode industry the 19 year old French Laetitia Casta is on the way to an international top model.

 It is night now in La Digue. The mode photographs for the STAR are in the box. Laetitia Casta squats at the sand beach of the small Seychelles island, pulls up the legs, dips the nose between the knees like a child, who embraces itself. "Sometimes I must feel myself. Then I know again that I am lucky about it, to be as I am."

 

Sometimes she asks herself, who she is: Teenager, Star Model, or "completely normal girl"? Only just she was acting before the camera, laying and kneeling in the sand, seductively, mysteriously, with her bright blue eyes her luring mouth, her relaxed pose and the breath-robbing figure. Laetitia Casta knows her advantages and uses it, but occasionally it is sometimes like that, as if she is awaking from a role-playing.

 

Then I close myself like a shell and can give nothing more." That may afford the 19 years old only seldom, because she can hardly save herself from offers for mode photographs and title photos. From Paris magazine "Photo" the French with Corsican origin was chosen just to the "new French star". Shortly she will try herself as an actress on the side of Gérard Depardieu in a large-scale filming of "Asterix and Obelix". She plays a sexy female, who turns Obelix totally the head - also by her forms.

 

Her body belongs to the most important capital of Laetitia Casta. Strictly she has - based on the usual Model standards - an anti-body. 171 centimetres large - too small thus. Upper width 90 - too much bosom thus. Waist 60, hip 88 - too many curves thus. Absolutely female roundness against the boyish, flat breasted, high-grown woman figures, which dominate the mode scene as Models. Laetitia Casta does not see herself also as a mode dress stand. She shows before the camera in the first way always herself, she said. "When someone has the desire to see you he is interested in the human who is in the dress." She shows desire, laughter, also melancholy - and promises, which are never redeemed completely. She lets run the sand through her fingers, while she is talking: "You must feel your thoughts and must be able to forget all physical things around you.” A new star under the tropical starry ski. 

 

How did she become an idolized  in the mode world? Jean Baptiste, her two years older brother, announced her without her knowledge to the miss-competition in the homeland village of her father in Corsica, during the family spent their holidays there in the summer 1993. She laughs. "Lumio has only 200 inhabitants - and only the children of the native may take part in it. I was shy and did not want to go there, but it would have been a big disgrace for my family, if I had chickened out." She became naturally "Miss Lumio". A short time afterwards a photographer with a representative of Paris model agency Madison appeared at the beach of San Ambroggio. They asked her father, if they may invite the daughter to the first photo Casting to Paris. They may.

 

Laetitia Casta enjoys her profession, because she can be there, as she is: funny, curiously, incalculably, full of life desire. No trail of grimness like some other Models. "For me all this is a great fun, a beautiful play... I take each day, as it comes. Everything is in motion - and so I decide always again, what I want to make."

 

In her life between Paris and New York and all the glamorise and paradise places of her work, she has a basis station which can’t be shaken: She lives with her parents at the edge of Paris on the countryside. There are all, who she loves and whom she trusts: father, mother, brother and the seven-year-old sister. From there she starts her excursions "not into a luxurious life, but more like an adventuress. I see everything that I make, as a great challenge and a great experience ".

 

With the night meal in the small restaurant Laetitia Casta steals the Models of another mode production totally the show, which is just working there on the Seychelles island. She carries an extra large, soil-long white dress from roughly woven cotton. Only the top of the bra which looks saucy out of the décolleté and the kind, as she goes and moves herself, give an idea of what is hidden under it. She feels the glances, turns in the circle and says: "I tighten gladly such simple things." She touches the rough material of the wide dress, which wraps all dreams, and explains: "My most beautiful dress is my body"
