For the Clemente session, Anna Ewers was very much herself—well, a Versace version of herself. When I'd suggested the idea of having her portrait done by him, she jumped at the chance. "It's so amazing that he painted me. He is a super-famous artist, so it's really cool," she says. "I think he captured me as I am," she says of her three-hour sitting. "And we took a few cigarette breaks, which was really good."

Ewers has had a long appreciation (for a 23-year-old) of art. Her favorite painting is Andrew Wyeth's haunting Christina's World. Like so many girls, she has a postcard of it bought from a museum store. "I don't know why I love it so much," she says. "It's just an amazing painting." She also has a love of Sebastião Salgado's photography. "I go to museums to look at things, and I get lost."
