You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've had a great experience in the fashion business.
I have always worked a bit with fashion people. I worked with Issey Miyake for a while, then Dolce & Gabbana; now we're working with Valentino. It's fine. The fashion world is a fairly weird world, but there are good people in it. It's weird because their timetables are unbearable.
It was a really fun idea to have a fashion label with my sister but I don't have an awful lot of time for it because my first love and job is to be an actress.
My girlfriend is a fashion designer. She has her own company called Rachel Antonoff. She is doing a collaboration with Urban Outfitters right now, a shoe collaboration with Bass. She sells to Barneys, stuff like that.
I never wanted to work in fashion. At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater! And I was crazy for the Hollywood of the 1950s: Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Jones. They were my idea of glamour - and Sylvie Vartan, the French singer.
Running a fashion business takes the heart of a good gambler. You're always dealing with new things. And there's no guarantee that anything new is going to be successful.
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.
Getting to wear beautiful fashion is the most fun part of the job that has nothing to do with the job.
The fashion world has always been part of my life.
Everyone thinks the fashion business is so glamorous. It's completely the opposite.
