They (fashion editors) have always been our secret weapon.

I'd just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses.

To be in Vogue has to mean something

There is something about fashion that can make people really nervous.

In the end I do respond to my own instincts. Sometimes they're successful, and obviously sometimes they're not. But you have to, I think, remain true to what you believe in.

The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn't true.

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.
