"I'm always looking for new materials which shouldn't be on the human form. That's my whole philosophy. I get the most unusual materials and make them look like they're restructuring
the body.

Everything is cut to enhance the look of a woman - legs as long as possible, waist as small as possible. Fantastic is a whole melting pot of all those aspects of women and whatever creativity they have to express."



A recent Fantastic profile building foray at a large party in Paris was one of France's rare public

Her Lauder-than-bombs disposition and several inflamed personal relationships have led to injunctions - and even occasional expulsions from other clubs - but Velda remains cheerfully pragmatic: "I'm not a very sexually oriented person really. But I'm at my most creative when I'm up against complex partners.

Wings of desire, for sure.
