buy choosing outfit whether
Working with Barneys, and choosing the looks, I was thinking about whether a real woman would buy this outfit and feel beautiful and comfortable.
Working for a magazine, you have a boss; you are not free.
people giving lacking
There are people who give you the confidence that you're lacking and once you have confidence, you're free and finally you can let out what's inside of you.
internet horrible rumours
A lot of rumours on the Internet are wrong and horrible.
enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is something so positive.
girl fashion thinking
I am not a good professional of fashion. I am not an expert about how clothes are constructed or the history of fashion. I never start with fashion. I always think of the girl and her personality - because all that matters to me when you look at a page is, "Do you want to be that girl?"
shows
The most important thing is posture: when you get old, it's the way you walk, the way you stand, that shows it.
love pants
I actually love the 'rappers look,' with the saggy pants and oversized clothes. It's very deliberate.
beauty
I'm not bad-looking, but I'm not a beauty, either.
french work
I definitely want to work on a project with young designers, not just French but international.
alexander amazed attitude business clothes good public relations spoken surprised
I am very surprised by someone like Alexander Wang. I am amazed how he is good with fashion, with business, with public relations himself, with an attitude in his clothes that is spoken immediately.
invites love
I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist.
hate noise walks
I hate mules. I hate the noise when someone walks with mules. Clomp, clomp, clomp. I think it's very not chic. I don't even like a flip-flop. I don't like this noise.
describe people
If people ask me to describe my look, I always say: 'Quite classic with an edge.'
