character thinking people
I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.
doubt suits when-in-doubt
When in doubt, wear a suit.
artist play ideas
In a way, I envy the freedom artists have. Artists can push themselves beyond their limits, in pursuit of their ideas and their vision, even if they are inhabited by demons that can also play tricks on them.
baby nice heart
When you have the baby, there is no BlackBerry, no computer; you just have the baby on your stomach, and your heart is beating the same time as the baby's. It's very nice.
fashion morning fun
Like this. The wristbands you get at nightclubs next to all the bracelets? It's always the details that give me the ideas. It's fun to play with fashion because it is a fantasy. Each morning you dress to become a different woman. Fashion helps.
free-spirit london spirit
I love the free spirit in London.
fashion coats sides
The fashion industry certainly has its obscene sides. The cost of a coat can be obscene. So can the cost of a photo shoot if you're working with a really good photographer.
fashion weekend together
When you love fashion, there is no weekend. Everything just blends together.
running fashion heart
Maybe it's good a thing that people see me this way [in the documentary film]. They expect to see me with the high heels, the glamour looks, but now they will see me running through an airport with flat shoes! Also, they'll discover that stylists with "names" are in general nicer, sweeter, have a heart, have great relationships with family and friends, and that's important. It shows that people in fashion aren't just freaks.
makeup helping moments
Makeup can help you capture a moment.
tools helping help-me
Clothing is always a tool that helps me take a picture. But it's never about the clothing.
jeans suits ripped-jeans
Even though jeans suit me, I never wear jeans.
crazy eyebrows bleaching
Bleaching eyebrows makes me crazy.
fun juice stills
I am like a lemon. I'm pressed for more juice. When I have fun, there's still juice. I am not dried up.
