I'm going to be 80, walking with a stick down the runway.
As soon as I jumped out of the airplane, I realized I had forgotten my parachute. Thank God we were still on the runway.
I'm working for a woman, not a lady. What I hate the most is that "lady" talk. You know, when I read a review, "The lady wears a Bottega Veneta. . . . " What lady? It's the same girls who are walking the runway an hour later elsewhere. But probably it is just the sophistication in our material, the nuance of the color, or the quality of the makeup or the hair that make people think that way. Most people just don't understand simplicity.
I basically modeled my way through college, doing local runway shows in L. A. that don't pay a lot and a couple of shows in N. Y. and S. F. , and I probably made the same as the average 19-year-old waiter; I just worked less and was around beautiful girls, so it was nice.
I was one of the first print models to go on the runway because I wanted to do runway. When I started doing the shows, I was the only print girl there.
Actors do like watching girls parade down the runway for some reason.
I think Starbucks created a platform and, ultimately, a runway for many other companies to emulate. I suspect if we had not achieved what we have, there would have been many regional brands that would have succeeded. But I'm not sure there would have been a national brand of the scope of Starbucks.
These are clothes my friends and I could wear. This ain't Prada. I don't want to be one of those celebrities that slaps their name on a label and collects royalty checks. Everything on that runway reflects me.
Fashion is what people wear not only what you see on the Runway
I have a big responsibility to my licenses. All my licenses draw from and take ideas from the runway.
Fashion Week is surprisingly very short. At least the actual runway shows are.
The short amount of time I'm out on the runway is like going on a rollercoaster. It's such a happy, exciting feeling. I'm more like a racehorse ready to go - I just want to get out there.
Is there a better example of natural selection in action than 'Project Runway?'
FKA Twigs is stunning. She has beautiful contemporary and unique sound with an almost psychedelic vibe. Her music is great for the runway.
So to get back to being intimidated, yes, you get intimidated when you're on the runway with Naomi Campbell, who is the best runway model in the world.
We didn't know what the reception was going to be when we walked out on the runway, but it felt like we were in a rock band. People started cheering. It was a nice way to begin Zoolander 2, with that kind of reception.
Every woman is not a runway model, nor should she be.
I love to hear a cool ambient sound at runway shows. It creates a good energy.
Years ago I was a runway model, and I used to get laughs. I thought it was a joke anyway
If you're 5' 6", just stay home. Don't pretend you're 5' 8" or 5' 9". If you want to be a beauty model, I guess that's fine, you can do glamour, but you're not going to do runway. If you're over 29 - 26, even - I would suggest you work regionally and not try to work nationally.
