- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mother, all of her sisters and my siblings all went through a stage from the age of about 15 to 19 where they widened and then lengthened. Had I not been modelling, that would have been a phase that was in a family photo album rather than in Vogue.
- Motherhood
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Cooking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like routine, and cooking became a ritual when I was modelling in New York. My life was nomadic, so making supper felt like an announcement that I was home.

- Fearlessness
- |

I have become that middle-aged woman who listens to the 'Hamilton' soundtrack in my kitchen.
- Cry
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm always either listening to 'Hamilton,' which makes me cry, or Giggs, who makes me laugh.
- Clothes

- Nov 07, 2020
It is hard finding clothes that fit. At the German Vogue shoot most of the clothes were undone at the back.
- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fashion should be about making clothes that make all women look beautiful, not making women starve so that they can fit in a size 8.

My grandmother is really awful sometimes.

I would never have got involved in something that just meant turning up at eight and leaving at five.
- Memories
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I write about things, it's a lot to do with sense memory. How things smell and taste can bring incredible memories flooding back and transport you in an instant to another time and place.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I know part of nostalgia is romanticising the past, but I love doing things in a slower way, and the glamour of bygone eras.
- Feel

I've got to confess... I do feel slightly like I've been born in the wrong time.

- Grateful

- Name
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Easy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's so easy to fetishise the dead. We rose-tint or villainise them, and so often in the retelling they are saints or sinners, rather than flawed humans muddling along like the rest of us.
- Complicated
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My family is as complicated as the next family. We have our joys and our tragedies, and we bear both with a black humour that is in our genes.
