"I am thrilled to be able to bring my vision of beauty to others who may be inspired by it"
About this Quote
The phrase “my vision” is the tell. Models are often framed as canvases for designers, photographers, and editors, but Alt claims authorship. It’s a bid for agency that fits her era: the late-’70s/’80s supermodel moment when a face could become a brand, and a brand could start speaking in first person. Still, the sentence hedges. She doesn’t say she wants to redefine beauty; she wants to “bring” it, implying the vision is already formed, already legible, already market-ready.
“Inspired by it” adds a moral alibi. Inspiration is the socially acceptable endpoint of glamour: not envy, not consumption, not comparison, but uplift. The subtext is a reassurance to the audience and to herself that participating in a hierarchy of looks can be framed as empowerment. It’s an optimistic line, but also a careful one - a model explaining why her visibility should feel like possibility, not pressure.
