Claudia Schiffer

Nobody has time to keep trying on a load of things in the morning like a teenager.

I design for myself and the first question I ask is, 'Would I wear it?'

I have a really basic uniform: in winter, black tights and any old dress that I can throw on. In summer, high-waisted jeans and this shirt, or that shirt, and a cashmere cardigan just in case.

You don't work on something for six years and be blind to the myriad of other approaches.

I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.
