Lips of Babel: Multilingual Models Recite Tongue Twisters from Around the World

Thirteen Beautiful models from around the globe recite tongue twisters for in their native language.

Photographer Elle Muliarchyk grew up multilingual, with her father as a diplomat and her mother as a journalist and linguist. During her modeling career, she also acquired proficiency in French and Italian.

„Tongue twisters are something we all have from childhood,‘ Muliarchyk says, adding that they often say a lot about their culture of origin. One from Nigeria translates as ‚Lady Seamstress, why are you so sad? Did a hen lay an egg on the dress you just made?‘ while another, from India, says, ‚A husband slapped his wife for no apparent reason.“
