Tears? Are you going for a Barbara Walters moment?

I've never taken a selfie and I don't plan to start now.

I saw young women in the street dressing in a way that I thought was influencing the designers. Fashion was being influenced by all sorts of different people, and culture and also across the street. So I saw more as a trickle up, than a trickle down influence. When I came to Vogue, that's what I wanted it to reflect.

It's possible in today's world to be instantly famous, whether it's through Instagram or whatever platform it may be, but it's a very different matter to be successful financially and in the long-term

It's important for young women and men coming out of the fashion schools to think seriously before starting their own collections.

People respond well to those that are sure of what they want.

If one comes across sometimes as being cold or brusque, it's simply because I'm striving for the best.
