When I'm feeling a little low, I put on my favorite high heels to stand a little taller.
I love new clothes. If everyone could just wear new clothes everyday, I reckon depression wouldn’t exist anymore.
If I'm not feeling good, I load on jewelry. It gives me energy and makes me feel happy.
When I had cancer - of the colon first, followed by breast cancer and a mastectomy - my motto used to be 'Drips by day, Prada by night.' I felt that I had to grasp it in the same way as you'd take on any challenge.
Today I have learned how to channel my rage through fashion.
I use my clothes to make my day better - for example, if it's a dull day, I'll wear something bright to cheer myself up.
I do sometimes think what outfit will make me happy. It's one of those self-care things. If I don't have time to do yoga in the morning, then I have a certain sweater/shirt combination that makes me feel put together.
You have to be a psychiatrist too, especially in fashion. A psychologist and a psychiatrist together.
