A defining presence on the catwalks, campaigns and important photo editorials in the first decade of the 21st century, Texan model Erin Wasson walked in the 2000s for all the big names: from Balenciaga to Givenchy, from Giorgio Armani to Gucci, from Calvin Klein to Louis Vuitton. Muse of Karl Lagerfeld and favorite of John Galliano, her image defined a time when models liked to play with the limits of what was morally acceptable. That is why she posed for some of the most renowned professionals of her time, today canceled due to attitudes that have been agreed upon as intolerable. Wasson has looked directly at the goals of Steven Meisel, Nan Goldin, Mario Testino, Peter Lindbergh, Patrick Demarchelier and Ellen von Unwerth.
Almost a year ago, in June 2023, Wasson starred in a spectacular photo shoot for S Moda and gave an interview in which she spoke about the career that occupied the first part of her life but also about the new beginning that she had started in the second. . Together with her husband, French entrepreneur Barth Tassy, she had opened a cafe with vegan options called Cecile in Marseille, his hometown. She then said: “It was a very difficult decision to move. In New York I knew absolutely everyone, I knew how to move, I knew the dynamics, what to expect. But still, I had the courage to come and start from scratch. I have lived in New York for many years and, of course, getting used to the routines of a smaller, more provincial city, where shops and bars close at normal hours, in contrast to another that literally never slept, is a challenge. . But business is going phenomenal, much better than I expected and I am very proud of us. Now that we have achieved it, they will never take it from our hands,” she said.
Yesterday, this model who started in the profession thanks to a contest organized by a small agency in Dallas (Texas), the state where she is from, communicated through her Instagram account the bizarre turn of events that has led to give up his French dream.
“And just after the first anniversary, I would like to share and let it be known that I am no longer part of Cecile. I wish the whole team the best, you are the best. It was a beautiful trip… one that left me with a husband who needed the support of another woman. Always looking forward in life and in love, for the next adventure.” In this sarcastic way she let everyone know that her relationship and her business adventure ended precisely because of another adventure, that of her husband with someone who is not her.
Erin Wasson is a professional who has always been characterized by speaking very clearly and putting uncomfortable issues on the table without fear. In the interview she gave to S Moda she recounted, for example, the unpleasant experience she had when she walked for Victoria’s Secret in 2007. “I didn’t like it at all: it didn’t come with walking. You had to be bubbly, take photos with celebrities. After the show, a very famous actor called the agency to ask for my phone number and that made me very angry and I told them off. ‘According to my latest information, this was not a dating site,’ I told them. The fact that I am a pretty woman does not mean that I automatically become part of an economic transaction as if I were an object.”
In the same interview he summarized his philosophy of life, in total harmony with the ironic way in which he is weathering the bad sentimental moment he is going through: “I am a person in a permanent state of gratitude. I have taken advantage of every opportunity that has come my way and have never felt anxious when the phone hasn’t rung. I have always known how to make a living.”
