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

When I hear a company is being run by a team, my heart sinks, because you need to have that leader with a vision and heart that can move things forward.

I don't think of myself as a powerful person.

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.

Some people have the Bible. I have Vogue.

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.
