Anna Wintour is the most powerful woman in the global fashion industry, the first lady of fashion. She's a politician; I'm a stylist. They are two very different jobs.

The fashion industry certainly has its obscene sides. The cost of a coat can be obscene. So can the cost of a photo shoot if you're working with a really good photographer.

I love the free spirit in London.

When you have the baby, there is no BlackBerry, no computer; you just have the baby on your stomach, and your heart is beating the same time as the baby's. It's very nice.

At the start, I had no idea to go into fashion, because I thought people would think I was stupid. I don't worry about those things anymore.

Imitation always stinks. When I take photos, I don't go back. I don't look at the past. I'm always original.

There are people who give you the confidence that you're lacking and once you have confidence, you're free and finally you can let out what's inside of you.
