Working for a magazine, you have a boss; you are not free.

'Vogue' is a very beautiful magazine, an institution, and I learned so much working there.

I'm always independent. No boss.

When you're editor-in-chief of a big magazine, you cannot be a cover girl for MAC; you cannot be the face of Givenchy - of course you can't; it's doesn't go with the job.

I love the free spirit in London.

The fashion industry certainly has its obscene sides. The cost of a coat can be obscene. So can the cost of a photo shoot if you're working with a really good photographer.
