My mother gave me a pair of diamond earrings when I was 13. It symbolised becoming a teenager. I also remember getting a collection of costume jewellery from my grandmother when I was in high school.

I think people find it weird that I have a lot of long antique-lace dresses that I wear with boots.

I never expected to be a model. I never expected to be a stylist. Or a designer.

I've always been a girl with a massive opinion.

I'm really not into that super-crazy-colour, smiley-faces-on-the-front-of-your-dress look. That's not my thing. You're not going to see me in pink. Or anything frilly. Or a tutu. Or bows.

I've never been a girly-girl, never drawn to things that are fussy.

To be given the reins of creativity is a beautiful thing when you're used to just showing up to a casting and standing there having clothes put on you.
