On modeling in the 90s: “Back then, it was late nights drinking and partying with Kate [Moss], Amber [Valletta] and Shalom [Harlow], but having to show up the next day and hopefully [still] have a career”.

On girls today “It was super-fun but we were really naughty… The girls today are so professional!”

On real life vs. fashion life: “Dylan’s aware that a photo of me in a magazine and me as ‘mom’ are two very different entities,” she says. “I’ll say to her, look at me now: I’ve got bags under my eyes and a zit, and you know [what] my body [looks like]. Now look at this photo of me: they’re not the same.”

On social media: “It’s not even voyeurism anymore,” she says emphatically. “It’s beyond that. The girls are told that they have to have a certain amount of followers, [so they] exploit themselves as a result. I had to stop following some of them; I just can’t see their rear end any more or airbrushed selfies with the pout. I just can’t.”

On her instagram: “I feel like once you’re 40, you have seniority. You’re gonna get what you get! And I like to err on the side of mystery. There’s something to be said for that.”

On her favorite designer of the moment: “I was just in Costa Rica, and if you look at my Instagram feed, it’s like I’m an Isabel Marant advertisement! Everything she does is so cool and easy.”

On city life: “I like solitude. I can be in the city, but after two weeks, I’m ready to escape again.”
