freedom hope job lovely quite
I'm still like a butterfly going from one job to another job. But it's quite lovely - I hope to keep this freedom, to have fun.
fashion jobs powerful
Anna Wintour is the most powerful woman in the global fashion industry, the first lady of fashion. She's a politician; I'm a stylist. They are two very different jobs.
becomes bit brands business celebrity dressing fashion fight good job red wears work
I am not a celebrity. I work with celebrities, and it is very difficult. When a celebrity wears a dress, it's good for business, so brands fight for the red carpet. Me? I don't like it, because fashion becomes a job about dressing celebrities. And it's a bit boring.
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.
invites love
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.

peace run women
I want more women to run countries. There'd be more peace on Earth.

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.
speak
To see yourself on the big screen, you're big, you hate your voice, your vocabulary. You say the same words, you speak bad.
