Some people have the Bible. I have Vogue.

Fashion goes in only one direction -forward- and I am a firm believer in thinking that way too.

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.

I don't really follow market research. In the end, I respond to my own instincts.

Even if I'm completely unsure, I'll pretend I know exactly what I'm talking about and make a decision.

I wasn't academically successful. And maybe I've spent a lot of my career trying to make up for that.

Gisele Bundchen is a bit of a jock. 1 of my fave shoots is her playing football
