Lillian is one of my favorite models. She has a wonderful vibrancy about her and that Estonian way of always smiling, even when I’m telling her to look fierce! I was thinking “Maenad” when I envisioned this shoot, and when she showed up suntanned and wild, straight from camping at a music festival. I just said “Perfect – don’t touch your hair!”. We opened a bottle of red to get in the Dionysian spirit,  let her drape the chiton as she liked,  and started shooting.
