95% of being a success in the competitive world of fashion is just showing up on time and being there. I don't know how I knew that when I was younger. You have to stick around for people to remember you.

I’m elated. I guess it’s better late than never. Welcome to the 21st century. It’s fantastic. I love Dior, and Rihanna is very much one of my style icons. I’m happy they got there in the end.
