I first met Michael Angel when he came to my office with a box of prints and asked me whether I thought he should make dresses from the prints.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always drew dresses. I remember loving Richard Avedon's early Versace campaigns. I used to plaster my whole walls with them when I was a kid.
I saw a photo of a Christian Lacroix couture dress when I was in my teens and decided right then that that's how I wanted to look on my wedding day. In my mind, that's what angels looked like.
Even if I did have, you know, a 'Sports Illustrated' body, I'd still wear elegant clothes.
I worked a lot with Nick Knight and John Galliano when John was at Dior. He also made my wedding dress. He'll always hold a special place; I have most of my memorable, iconic moments in fashion with him.
I was a fashion editor for years in London before I came to 'Vogue,' and I spent my life arranging the folds of a ball gown skirt for a picture and pinning fabric and using all those stylist tricks. And you don't have to do that now because they can do it in Photoshop.
I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.
My room used to be full of Michael Jackson posters.
The first time I met James Franco, he was dressed like James Dean. He was James Dean, literally, filming a biopic.
The first time I met Michael, we saw each other on a TV show.
Once I made a boyfriend dress up as Woody Allen from 'Annie Hall.'
