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.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
