I'm getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am.
At no point in my thirty years have I ever felt truly represented by the fashion industry.
I care about how I look, but I don't care about the fashion industry.
Being in this whole fashion industry, seeing it firsthand, I never realized just how much work goes into everything.
The fashion industry has done itself in by neglecting the 60- to 80-year-old market. They have the time and the economic resources. They want to go shopping.
The fashion industry really welcomed me with open arms and open hearts. They've been very accepting of my faith. I have strict wardrobe requirements, and that's something they've upheld.
I think it's important to be diverse, and I hope we continue to see that as a trend in the fashion industry.
I wasn't a major in political science for nothing, so I understood the politics of beauty and the politics of race when it comes to the fashion industry.
I thought at 46 years old, I've been removed from the fashion industry for 10 years. I couldn't possibly write a model's book. That's for a 20-year-old. But I could say what I want to say without chastising the industry.
There are some people who have helped to advance me and other girls, but the fashion industry is always behind popular culture. They think they understand the zeitgeist. They don't know anything about the zeitgeist.
As opposed to thinking about ourselves as disrupting the fashion industry, we're thinking about ourselves more broadly - about disrupting the closet and how you get dressed.
People have told me about organized crime in the fashion industry, but I can't talk about that. I'm looking to stay alive.
Getting a moral lecture from the fashion industry is like Jeffrey Dahmer criticising your diet.
The best fashion show is definitely on the street. Always has been, and always will be.
And we have not found any generational gap at all. If he wants to go a football game, he goes. If I want to go to a fashion show, I go. We don't have to do everything together. But we like doing most things together.
I was on the train from London to Paris, and all of a sudden it just popped into my head: I'm going to do the Don Loper fashion show from 'I Love Lucy.'
I went to a fashion show, and this silver-haired guy was staring at me with these piercing water-blue eyes. It scared me because I absolutely saw and knew my entire future.
If I see a fashion show with literal influences, it doesn't make me think any more. It doesn't make me dream.
Yves Saint Laurent was my first fashion show. I wore his tuxedo. And Helmut Newton was my first photographer, in 1973. I was really very lucky. I had an amazing career.
During a fashion show, I want the clothes to speak. The effort I put into my work must be respected.
