“For my art GCSE, I did a screen print of the Queen's head that was basically an Andy Warhol rip-off, but I didn't realise.”
“It's funny because I think that both France and Britain are known for their distinctive styles, and everyone says that France is so chic and elegant but I think, more than that, French women are renowned for dressing in what suits them.”
“My look is pretty low maintenance, I have a great team around me for hair and make-up, and they have also taught me some great tricks over the years for when I'm doing my own.”
“I'm rubbish - I'm really not good at my beauty regimes.”
“I'd like to give anyone else a go at being scrutinised. Daily. It's not easy.”
“When I used to work in television, a tip was rather than looking down the barrel of the camera and imagine people watching, which is terrifying, imagine your most discerning friend observing you, and imagine you're just talking to them.”
“A bad outfit can really get me down. If I'm wearing something really normal and boring, it's like torture.”
“I have never lived in a time when people haven't told me what I look like.”
“I've got an allergy to looking too neat.”
“My friends found out that I was writing a book on Twitter. It didn't seem worth mentioning over dinner. They're all so successful themselves.”
“I love Gap for affordable men's sweaters.”
“A roll-neck and some flat shoes is about as good as it gets.”
“I wash my face and then use lots of moisturiser.”
“I think it's cool that London Fashion Week is about young designers trying wacky things.”
“I only ever involve myself with brands I truly adore.”
“My art teacher told me I'd be suited to graphic design, but I just couldn't, because it was what my dad had done.”
“I'm indie through and through. I've always gone out with boys in bands.”
“I've come to terms with the fact that if you're on TV, lots of people like you and lots of people hate you, and once you're OK with that, you apply it to everything.”
“I love the '60s and sort of wish all design had stopped in 1967. That would be my dream. They were really just nailing it - everyone looked great - but then it started getting a bit slippery after that.”
“When I was a teenager, I used to come to Selfridges, and it was very swanky and overwhelming, and I'd think, 'Wow, this is amazing.' I would never have imaged having my own area in the beauty hall! It's incredible.”
