'I was always aware that Horst had a warm feeling for the personality, the sexuality of me as a model. Even at our very first sitting, when we were both so inexperienced, I felt lapped in calm and beauty and luxury and glamour - and yet as though I were in my own house; not just posing in it, but living in it, as myself.' - Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn
