What other designers do you admire?
"For clothes, I like Prada — I love everything Miuccia does, and Sonia Rykiel. But, when I go online, I tend to go by style or by color. I’m kind of blind to designers sometimes, you know what I mean? I’ve got a uniform; I know what I like and what I want to wear. For shoes, I love Manolo Blahnik and Salvatore Ferragamo because I grew up with them. I admire Ferragamo because he was able to outfit all of the ladies of the past whom I admire."

What is your daily uniform?
"It would either be a little frilly dress, or a little pair of shorts and a top. Because the rest of my look is quite old-fashioned — the half-moons, the hair, and red lips — that outfit makes it a little more modern. Or, long, high-waisted wide-leg pants. I just find myself wearing the same thing all the time! That’s why I shop by style rather than designer."
