I have made a living off the way I look, and I have really learnt to accept myself for being unusual.

I was like most teenagers. I wanted to look more conventional - you know, to just be the pretty girl in school.

There's an inherent contradiction between appreciating the beauty of clothes and creativity and individuality, and the waste around the ideas of trends and seasons.

It doesn't make me very happy to be on my computer all the time. I've never been drawn to that world.

I don't personally follow trends; I don't even like the idea of trends. I think it's kind of absurd that you have to change every six months, so I always try and buy things that hopefully I'll like forever, and resonate with me.

I kind of see clothes a bit like role-playing, depending what mood I'm in.

People do make assumptions about models. That's their issue, not mine. It doesn't bother me because I'm comfortable enough in my own skin - I know who I am.
