I confess to being a frustrated musician.

I think it took me a little while to be true to myself as a designer, and in some ways I'm still trying to do that. I have to choose things that come naturally to me. Whenever I challenge something too much or try too hard, it never quite works out.

There's nothing fashionable about a dead animal that has been cruelly killed just because some people think it looks cool to wear.

As a designer I like to work with fabrics that don't bleed. That's why I avoid all animal skins.

You want to be confident when you work out because it takes a lot to make you work out. So many women really enjoy it, but it's a hard thing and you have to make yourself do it most of the time. I think you want to feel that you look good to make you want to work out a little bit more.

I don't use specific brands really. It's just that for my skin, I need as high an SPF factor as I can get my hands on. That's the only rule.

When you think of fashion photography, it's a dream. It's like we all want to be those women. We want to wear those dresses.
