Heading to Paris when I was 17 and modelling exposed me to high fashion, which influenced me to dress on-trend - not extravagantly, but always in fashion.

I have a soft spot for cashmere - even though that is not a particularly sustainable fabric, I do invest in quality, so it is sustainable in the sense that it is not just throwaway fashion and I keep it for a long, long time.

It would have been very easy for me to put on a little tight skirt and go out and try what I always call the Barbie doll roles.

People have their cultural reasons for eating meat, their traditional reasons, their likes and dislikes.

If you don't go and do something in life, nothing happens.

I tend to wear monochromatic outfits - all one colour from head to toe.

My personal style has developed from growing up in Oklahoma, middle America, where I was wearing jeans and cowboy boots and where people were not running around in miniskirts.
