Vittoria Ceretti has a truly original interview with Arthur Dreyfus for Vogue France. In fact, they made her response to an innocent question the headline, even though her response came mid-interview.

"I have always been sure that I was a whale, in a previous life."

Early-on, Dreyfus presses Ceretti a bit too much on the rivalry between models — when Ceretti’s certainty of her whale heritage is a far more interesting focus of our attention. Like multiple times from different angles he pitches rivalry, and she deftly and gently pushes back, — as do so many models today.

Personally, Anne thinks the models mean what they say — and they are quick to embrace their solidarity and friendship above rivalries.

If you were an animal, would you be a horse?

I asked myself this question a hundred times, and I would be a whale. I was always sure that I was a whale, in a previous life.

Why a whale?

Because she lives in the ocean - I love the ocean as much as it scares me. And they are mammals, so they keep their young with them, even for very long trips.

Ceretti gave him a real opener with that answer, but Mr. Dreyfus wants none of it.

Wait up here. Vittoria is whispering in my ear: “Oh, Anne, don’t be hard on Mr. Dreyfus. Stop this. He is a nice person! Often, they can’t help themselves. You know that.”

Okay, okay, okay, Vittoria! Over and out. ~ Anne
