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.
mean home grandmother
"Grandmother" doesn't mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren.
enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is something so positive.
children crazy virgos
Either you are a good Virgo or a crazy Virgo! The good Virgo side of me is educating and raising the children - being there for them.
ideas instinct projects
In photo shoots, I rely on instinct. Which is not to say I don't bring ideas to a project or consider it beforehand.
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.
