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.
arc joan runway
I want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.
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.'
diet eat follow
I am very lucky in that I can eat what I want and don't have to follow any special diet.
