Don't have just anyone run your social media. I think it's insane when brands or celebrities relegate their social media to an intern or someone who does not know them well.
Previously, someone would interview me, and if they liked me, it'd be a great story. If they hated me, it'd be a horrible story. I had no way to say anything. Social media changed things for people who didn't have a voice.
You can definitely notice a girl who has confidence versus one who's thinking, 'How are they judging me?'
It's especially important to make sure all clients are happy. You don't want to get stuck into a corner and for people to think you now only have one look.
When I first started modeling, I had the chance to walk the runway with Naomi passing by me, but I didn't know anything about supermodels. But when I saw her backstage, she complimented me on my walk, and I thought she was so nice - everyone was freaking out that I didn't know who she was.
If I want a hamburger, I'm going to have one. No 21-year-old should be worrying about whether she fits a sample size.
Be current. Know and comment on current trends and news. Don't be the last one entering a conversation.
I'll probably always have some black in my accessories, but it's also important to have a pop of color.
If you are a new, upcoming designer, you've got to think of new, cool ways to make the industry look at you. Don't just get stuck in a rut, show your clothes, and be like, 'You should like this.'
You can teach a girl how to model, how to take a pretty picture, and how to walk, but you can't teach personality.
Fashion can be a very fickle lady, especially when it comes to models - fashion likes to turn on its own.
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 remember working with Agyness Deyn. At the time, she was the only one who had short hair as a model. I remember being so envious of her because we would all be getting our hair pulled for two hours backstage, and she was getting a new haircut almost every other show.
I've always thought of modeling as a performance, so I don't mind kind of pretending. I kind of pretend in a lot of my poses that I am a ballerina or a hip-hop dancer or a grunge performer.
As a woman, sometimes we stress on always being of the moment, and that is a lot of pressure, especially for young girls.
