You created a special holiday collection for Guerlain in 2018. What was your inspiration?
Natalia Vodianova (NV) I was so inspired by my trip to India, where we shot The Legend of Shalimar commercial in 2013. The collection features all the beautiful colours of India that is embodied in the Shalimar scent. Blue, gold and sapphire gemstones are everywhere in India. I said to Laurent Boillot [Guerlain president and CEO], “Why don’t we transform this into a beauty collection and not just perfume?” That’s how the collection came about. It means so much to me especially since the profits from the sale go to the Naked Heart Foundation, which I founded in 2004 to help children with special needs.
