“I once met Heidi Klum at this event, and I still hold Heidi as the ideal. I think that she’s the most beautiful woman. Generally I go to fashion shows and look at the models and I’m sort of off-put by it, to be honest. I think that they look good in the clothes, and wear those things well, and fit an ideal, but I think the Victoria’s Secret, whatever the thing they do is with the angels, those are voluptuous women, and fashion show models generally are very very not my type. ” - Michael Williams

5x7: Michael Williams

“I think that when done well, a fashion show can be the most compelling, inspirational, amazing thing. It’s a feeling I don’t get very often. To me they’re filled much more with anxiety than anything else. I’m glad to be on the other side of it, not having to actually work one.”
