The very first magazine story I ever wrote, for Shameless magazine, was about a touchy subject: vaginal plastic surgery. I discovered then that some men, in fact, prefer long labia. Their term of endearment – “the curtains of love” – always stuck with me. Eight years later, I had the unparalleled privilege of bringing the idea to life, creating a sultry, silken shrine to the vulva as part of the Secret Cinema’s homage to Brazil. The centrepiece: a spectacular patchwork quilt of hand-made vulva – including several knitted models fashioned by 91-year-old women. Read all about the Curtains Of Love on the GS website here.
