asked climbed illustrate soon
I started as a writer for magazines, and soon they asked me to illustrate my stories. I started from the bottom of the bottom. And I climbed the stairs, one by one.
amazing asked ford life tom
When Tom Ford asked me to consult for Gucci, I had never consulted in my life. I didn't know what consulting was, and look, we made something amazing.
ask bring great magazine people
People ask me 'Why you want to do another magazine - 10 years at 'Vogue,' a great magazine? Why do you want to make a new one? It's so difficult and there's already so many.' I wanted to do something new, bring a new vision.
ask great people photo picture streets
I am just doing photo shoots. It's not something that extraordinary. I'm not a great artist, I'm not writing books, I'm not a painter, and people in the streets ask me for a picture or a note, and I say, 'Why?'
art bunch learn
In Japan, you can learn how to make a bunch of flowers. This is an art. Tea ceremony, it's an art.
people
I know that people in fashion and people in general hate to be filmed.
beauty
I'm not bad-looking, but I'm not a beauty, either.

I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist.

If Kate Moss hadn't been booked when she was 14, Kate Moss might not exist.
I never think I have to prove something.

I want more women to run countries. There'd be more peace on Earth.
arc joan runway
I want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.
It's interesting to know how much you are worth.
call maybe
The reason I call my book 'Irreverent' is because there were a lot of pictures that were very irreverent. Maybe I could call my book 'Forgiving' because maybe I made a lot of errors, too.
