No one else in my family works in the fashion industry.

My parents had a factory, so I was linked to the textile and fashion industry.

My parents have influenced my fashion choices. I inherited many of their older garments, and I like their style. I love my mother's elegant and dramatic couture dresses and the feeling for colour my father has.

With fashion, my mother was an icon, but she never lived it in the sense that she was never obsessed with fashion. When I was a young girl, my sister wasn't doing fashion, so I started fashion thinking, 'I'm going to do something that they haven't done yet.' That was my silly scheme at the time.

I grew up in a family of people who were obsessed with fashion.

My parents weren't actors or studio executives.

Fashion is a real passion in my family. I never even realised it was something glamorous until much later. For me, it was my family's job.

Just because you work in the fashion industry, it doesn't mean you live your life in fashion.
