Anna Ewers Quotes

I did a school fashion show, and I got scouted there, but I wasn't very interested in modeling at that point.

In college, I would do my teammate's hair and their makeup sometimes. I did a friend's makeup at the 2008 Olympics, and she said, 'Have you ever considered taking classes?' For some reason, it had never crossed my mind.

People associate pageants with glamour, where there are celebrities walking on the ramp wearing beautiful gowns, heels and make-up - but that's just one aspect.

A runway is spectacle. It’s only fashion when a woman puts it on.

Your women of fashion ceases to be a woman. She is neither mother, nor wife, nor lover. She is, medically speaking, sex on the brain.

Fashion is also a form of art, and like every kind of art, it has its own way of expression.

It is after all a "Show" and it has to be understood by people that it is a "show" and not real life.
