Production chains, how consumers can drive change: all these things may seem at odds with fashion, but arguably, they're not.

I think the media are so hypocritical a lot of the time in the way they chastise something just so that they can print it again.

I was of the type who gets bullied rather than the one who does the bullying, which I'm glad about. I'd rather be that than a bully.

Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.

I guess I try and learn all the time from every experience in life, so my thinking is a hybrid of everything. I'd have to attribute some of that to my work in the fashion industry - in some obscure way.

I've always cared about issues, always thought through problems. I don't know how much that comes from my personality or my mum.

I have to admit I've always had quite a complex relationship with modeling and with the idea of advertising: not always knowing what I'm advertising and selling.
