Something I always look for in an outfit is to have a standout piece.

I always wear what I'm comfortable in. If one designer doesn't like what I'm wearing, the next one will.

Stay true to your personal style and comfort regardless of others' opinions.

In practice
This quote can be used in a speech about embracing personal style at a fashion event.
Something I always look for in an outfit is to have a standout piece.
My wedding dress is a piece of art that I'll treasure forever. It was designed and created by Zac Posen. I gave him only the tiniest bit of direction when he started, and the end product was more beautiful than anything I could have imagined.
Models are supposed to be a muse to you. Why is a muse always the same body type, the same look? It's boring.
Usually, a model gets two to three seasons, or a year and a half, and that's it - you're done. For me, it will be 10 years.
I think, as long as you're secure with yourself and happy with yourself, it really doesn't matter what the world around you thinks.
When I started, I knew nothing about fashion. I remember, my first day going to my agency, I was wearing these huge bell-bottoms - they were patchwork corduroy and denim, which, at the time, I thought were amazing. My agent told me, 'You have a casting with Prada - you have to burn those jeans.'
What I think I sell with my clothes is confidence, so hopefully all my dresses, my accessories, are friends to the women. When you open the closet, and your eyes are swollen, and you don't like the way you look, you go to your friends.
When I first started designing, all women were dressed like men, and I said, 'Hey, guys, let's be women, put the two together - it's not either/or. Let's celebrate our bodies. Our bodies are different.'
When you think of the blur of all the brands that are out there, the ones you believe in and the ones you remember, like Chanel and Armani, are the ones that stand for something. Fashion is about establishing an image that consumers can adapt to their own individuality. And it's an image that can change, that can evolve. It doesn't reinvent itself every two years.
Moving fashion used to be one of my chief goals. It's not necessarily any more. Fashion needs to change when life changes. You only need to move fashion forward when there's a reason to move fashion forward.
Style must be adapted to the woman and not vice versa. The same can be said of clothes.
Style begins by looking good naked
