I'm an ice queen, I'm the Sun King, I'm an alien fleeing from District 9 and I'm a dominatrix. So I reckon that makes me a lukewarm royalty with a whip from outer space.

I worked for Harper’s Bazaar. They fired me. I recommend that you all get fired; it’s a great learning experience.

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.

If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what's going on in the world as a headline in the New York Times.

Fashion's not about looking back. It's always about looking forward.

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.

Well it just looks so ugly. Is it a boy or is it a girl?
