Designers have always shown outlandish and exuberant clothes, but that hasn't always translated to the streets.

I've always loved the rustic, slightly worn style of Canvas and that element of an artisanal hand. It's so inherently chic.

There's something to be said about a girl who knows what she wants. One of my favorite girls to dress is Diane Kruger. It's always so easy with her. I know her body and what works. When it's right, it's not a lot of effort.

Exuberant health is always, as such, sickness also.

I think clothing is transformative. When you put something really beautiful on, you feel something. In so many ways, we're always playing a form of dress-up - it's just a grown-up, much chicer version of it. It's nice to be able to be whoever you want to be.

Everyone was always asking me questions because I was so tall. Buying clothes was the hardest part. I had to get a suit and that was special-ordered. It cost my parents $400.
