I never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know 'Vogue' existed when I was growing up. 'Vogue,' what is that?'

'Vogue' is a bigger name than my name.

'Vogue' is a very specific world. You are 'Vogue,' or not 'Vogue.'

'Vogue' is a very beautiful magazine, an institution, and I learned so much working there.

I was twelve years old when I started reading 'Vogue.'

I had never seen 'Vogue.' I didn't read fashion magazines, I read 'Time' and 'Newsweek.'

'Vogue' remains while its fashion editors come and go.

My mother was a beauty queen in her hey day. That's where I learnt a little about makeup and hair... I had never picked up or even seen a 'Vogue' before I was 17. I had no idea about fashion, magazines, models or designers. No idea.

'Vogue' is the best of everything that fashion can offer, and I think we point the way. We are, you know, a glamorous girlfriend.
