If I'm on holiday, I travel light, but if it is a work trip, I take everything but the kitchen sink.

My sister Naomi and I always wanted to go to Tahiti. We planned a fantastic holiday to visit several islands, but at the last moment, Naomi cancelled. It was the first time I'd holidayed alone, and it was absolutely the best.

I had a very spoilt childhood. Not that my family were incredibly wealthy, but we lived on the beautiful island of Hawaii where everything was lush and in abundance.

I've slipped enough times over the years to know the peril of a too-smooth sole, so every time I buy a new pair, I take a pair of scissors or a piece of sandpaper to the bottoms to roughen them up. In my catwalk days, I even used to spit on the soles of shoes before I ventured down the runway.

You can get everything and the kitchen sink here. We are never lacking materials. Sometimes we have to turn things down because we're overstocked.

Collage is not a kitchen sink; it's not a refuge for the compositionally disabled.
