Paul
Marciano said: "The first time she walked into my office.
I thought she was lost in the GUESS? building with her parents. She looked
like she was no more than twelve years old. But when I looked more
closely, I was blown away by the perfect features of her face. And those
eyes I couldn't look away from them! Then she spoke to me in French, and I
was so pleasantly surprised. I have to say it was the sweetest and most
refreshing moment I had in many years." |
(From The Book Laetitia
Casta 1999) |
|
Laetitia
Casta said: "Before I started
modelling for GUESS?, I only modelled in France for French publications.
Guess? introduced me to the United States and the world. GUESS? was the
first company that really gave me international exposure." |
(From interview with
GUESS? 1998) |

Laetitia
Casta was the GUESS? girl in

Issermann said:
"If I start talking about
Laetitia, it's going to take hours. I cannot stop about Laetitia. She has
a childlike gift with the camera, then she delivers something incredible.
Laetitia is the most beautiful woman in the world" |
(From The Book Laetitia
Casta 1999) |

Vivienne
Westwood said:
"I don't believe in God, but
when I see Laetitia, I might change my mind." |

I say:
"What GUESS? did for Laetitia, she
did a million times for them." |
