I wasn't trying to be a role model for anybody. I don't think that you can.

I have always been a very visual person and a keen observer.

We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful, but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.

You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding.

What's really interesting is when you get a brand-new wave that has no connection to anything else. It always reflects society. The flappers would cut the dresses and make them looser, they smoked, their hair was short. It was a rebellion against the corset and the Edwardian era.

Although I have lived in London, I have never really considered London my home because it was always going to be a stopping-off point for me, and it has been too.
