It's sometimes tiring to get off a long-haul flight and go straight to the studio for a shoot, but if you really plan everything well, you can get so much out of combining travel with work.
From Alek Wek
The most beautiful things are not associated with money; they are memories and moments. If you don't celebrate those, they can pass you by.
True beauty is born through our actions and aspirations and in the kindness we offer to others.
When I was growing up, my mother taught me and my sisters to celebrate each other - there was no room in our household for negativity. She taught us to embrace each other, and this was empowering for us. She also taught us the value of celebrating our differences.
I think the fashion industry has gotten to a place where it is embarrassing.
When I think of 'Instagram models,' I say you have to take baby steps. You cannot just walk straight onto the runway.
When I was working, there was no digital. We actually worked; we used Polaroids.
There was no concept of fashion and catwalk shows where I came from.
I've seen mothers and children really being vulnerable in the refugee camps; it's supposed to be temporary, but they end up having children who have grown up in refugee camps.
I'm an artist at heart.
