Nadja Auermann: A Greecian Turn - Vogue by Ellen Von Unwerth, May 1994
“Even if [lolita] was a desire to be a little girl, I don’t see anything wrong with that. Why do we have to live in a world where we’re forced to leave innocence, magic, and wonder behind just because we reach a certain age? I enjoy the same things I did as a little girl, and I won’t ever “grow up” to suit society’s demands. It’s like The Who’s song My Generation with the lyric “I hope I die before I get old”… It doesn’t actually mean old as in old age. It means old as in losing your sense of wonder. I see many children who are “old”… and they’re getting “old” at progressively younger ages. It makes me sad.”
