fashion people way
I don't look at fashion the way other people do.
beautiful beach islands
Harbour Island in the Bahamas is a wonderful little island with beautiful beaches, a great restaurant culture and friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
thinking bed wake-up
From the minute I wake up until I go to bed I think about food.
style jane
I always loved the style of Jean Seberg, Jane Birkin and Marilyn Monroe.
crazy silly modelling
Modelling is a silly, crazy business.
pounds cheese weakness
Cheese is one of my great weaknesses, I could eat the stuff by the pound.
secret special littles
Denmark is like a secret little place with its own special language.
taken lines knickers
I've taken my knickers off. My friends told me my panty line was visible, so I went without.
vintage lace fabric
I love playing around with vintage fabrics and lace.
beautiful reality pieces
I still love taking pictures with Polaroid film. For me, it offers the most beautiful way of capturing reality and transferring it onto a flat piece of paper.
lying night serious
Some designers retain a sense of humour about what they do, but others are deathly serious and have no life outside of it; they're lying awake night after night constructing dresses in their heads.
strong sleep years
You are by yourself for the best years of your life. You sleep in airports. If it doesn't kill you it makes you strong.
acting done serious
I had never done any serious acting before, but I decided that it was a chance that I should take.
being-yourself thinking the-end-of-the-day
No one ever came up to me and said: "You need to reshape your body, to lose weight, or to be more outgoing, or less outgoing". We were just allowed to be us, and I think at the end of the day, isn't that the whole point of being a human being? To be allowed to be yourself, to be accepted the way you are?
