I had a marketing idea that everybody hated, decency is sexy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like to look nice, but I'm not marketing being beautiful.
I was in advertising for years. That was cushy, you know? It's pretty cushy in a lot of ways, but I hated it.
I hate the word sexy.
A lot of my branding has come from stubbornness - I knew what I liked. I knew what I wanted to do.
I have become a marketing tool and I feel very uncomfortable with that. There's no space for me to express myself.
Sure there is a sexy attitude, and when they say, 'Give me a sexy look with your eyes,' you give it to them. It doesn't have to relate to the product. People are just drawn to it.
I never want to promote an ad that makes women feel bad about themselves, because when I was young, I never felt rich enough or fashionable enough or good enough. I felt talked down to by luxury fashion labels. There was a disconnect. They made me feel we weren't right for each other.
I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty.
I never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.
I can't complain about the way I've been marketed because it's been so successful.
