baby fashion school
I was at school when Britney Spears' 'Baby One More Time' came out. I changed my uniform to look like hers. I just looked slutty after that, so thank you, Britney.
thinking collaboration photographer
I think because I do model for brands but it's never without input, ever. With AG I front their campaign, and obviously designed the collection for them. I did the same back in the day with Madewell. Even with Longchamp, there's a certain amount of collaboration on deciding on photographers and stuff like that. It's something that I'm accustomed to doing behind the scenes.
men thinking photographer
On the same Australian trip, I brought back a pair [of Ugg] for my then boyfriend who was a photographer. He wore them all the time. He used to wear them with Levis twisted jeans and a vintage T-shirt. This is 2002. They looked great on him. I guess it takes a certain kind of man to pull them off but they have other ones that are less typical of this, I think.
cute thinking kind
English suspenders not American. Could you imagine? Just a pair of knickers and some suspenders. I don't know. How would you wear that? I think this is kind of a cute first date look. A mini sixties Ossie Clark inspired mini dress with a pair on your trotters.
team years hair
My look is pretty low maintenance, I have a great team around me for hair and make-up, and they have also taught me some great tricks over the years for when I'm doing my own.
thinking track kind
The chihuahua and the pink velour track suit. I think it's kind of an iconic look.
heart broken one-day
Nobody goes through life without having their heart broken and one day you'll wake up and it'll be okay.
girl mean clothes
I didn't mean to be a TV presenter, I just hated modeling. It feels very odd that it's turned into this 'It-girl' thing. What does that even mean? I wear clothes and I go out. It's so weird.
character thinking kind
I would say probably Paris [Hilton]. Because to me that's her in character and she kind was always sort of winking at the camera. There was satire I think involved in what she was doing. I like to think there was.
allergies neat
I've got an allergy to looking too neat.
photography humans human-beings
I'm really interested in photography, like every other human being.
france would-be want
I don't ever want to stop learning. And I really want to learn French fluently. It would be great to go and live in France.
fashion thinking trying
I think it's cool that London Fashion Week is about young designers trying wacky things.
clothes creative lovely
I get to work with great photographers, wear lovely clothes, be part of the creative process.
