Claudia Schiffer, ed., Captivate! Fashion Photography from the '90s (Munich, 2022), p. 61, variant

"A high-energy, classic 1990s Versace moment -- we went straight from the runway to shoot for Italian Vogue in Versace's palazzo and on to the party together. Group compositions are complex and the skill is in directing everyone to work together. Michel Comte made it look spontaneous..." (Claudia Schiffer quoted in Captivate!, p. 60)
