00:00No, it's not my movie. I am the subject. It's the movie done by the directors and the editors.

00:09And what I like about it, I've only watched it twice, and the second time I watched it

00:17with an audience, and what I liked about it is that it was very real and authentic, even

00:25that I didn't particularly like what I looked like, and I like that. And it made me, it

00:32reminded me, and I hope everybody gets from it, that to be true to yourself is the only

00:40way to be.

00:41That's beautiful. I should say as well, welcome to the UK as well.

00:44Thank you.

00:45When we look around at fashion, you know, your influence is everywhere after decades

00:48in the industry. Do you see a lot of your influence in the UK as well?

00:53I don't know. I mean, you know, you don't spend time thinking about your influence.

00:57You just keep doing.

00:58Do you get a kick out of walking around the streets and just seeing someone in one of

01:02your designs?

01:03I always did that, especially when I was young. That was a big thing.

01:06In terms of what you wear, have you got one piece of maybe lucky clothing or a certain

01:10type of jewellery or something which you enjoy wearing?

01:12You know, my best idea of designers is when I pack, because if you know how to pack, you

01:17know how to live. And if you pack lightly, you live lightly.

01:22I love that you are empowering women to become in charge as well, like all the work you're

01:26doing in the last decade, I guess. Who are the core people that you'd like to champion?

01:30Who do you think we should be looking out for as the next potential DVF?

01:34You know, every individual is interesting. Everybody is a novel if you pay attention

01:41to it. So the idea is for everyone to be true to themselves, because if you're true to yourself,

01:48you're free, even if you're in jail. But if you're not true to yourself, you're never free.

01:54And it was finally from me. It was said in a documentary that even now you're still the

01:58last one standing at parties. You're still a party animal. Is this actually the case?

02:02And will you be at the after party tonight?

02:03I'm not a great party person. Not really.

02:09Enjoy your time in London. Thank you so much for your time.
