EDIE CAMPBELL

I'd like to work with horses, but it doesn't pay very well. Maybe I'd like to go somewhere in the Middle East because they keep buying really nice horses for their Olympic teams - like, the Qataris.

My favourite smell is horses. In fact, most of the time, I do smell like horses.

Everyone Instagrams all the people they are with. I get that it's part of the job. But there's a point where it's like, 'Can't you just be a person and have a separate life to your job?'

I have a really great show jacket from Lavalliere that's really well made, and I have a great pair of Gucci jodhpurs, which is hilarious.

What I like about Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is that it's an understated scent that's somehow familiar.

I think Stella Tennant is amazing. And then I really loved all those '60s society models, like Edie Sedgwick.

People need to take a breath and remember that it's only fashion. Relax. No one's going to die.

The more I mistreat my hair, the stronger it grows back. I think it must be determined to survive.

I'm not very good at going to parties and looking like I'm having fun.

I always find Victoria's Secret models a bit weird.

Sometimes I wake up and think, 'I want to look like Sherlock Holmes today,' and other times I want to look like a witch from 'Macbeth.'

I like wearing things that are a bit off but not in a ridiculous 'I'm wearing a huge hat' kind of way. More a socks with sandals way.

I've been making a diary of the daft things people have said during London Fashion Week, and it does wear a little bit thin, everyone comparing my name to Edie Sedgwick.

I just think that the Victoria's Secret girl values herself by the way she looks. And that might be linked with being healthy, but that's all it is, and it sets a negative example to other people.

Kristen Stewart always looks good - she wears what she wants. It's the same with Alison Mosshart - she chooses clothes that she loves rather than what she thinks she should wear.

I am truly honoured to become ambassadress for Yves Saint Laurent. The brand's modern vision of beauty is very inspiring, and I am particularly proud to represent such an audacious archetype of woman.

I needed to pay for my horses in Warwickshire, and I couldn't do that off a waitress' wage.

When I was 17, I used to really think about what I wore every day.

How hard can it be to walk up and down in a straight line? You just need to put one step in front of another; most people do it all the time. What's the worst that can happen? You fall over. Sometimes that happens to non-models, too; it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I think TV shows have usurped films!

If you always feel like an imposter, you work harder, and that makes you better at your job. You've got to keep a level of variation; otherwise, you'll end up talking about nails and beauty products all the time.

I find it quite boring when people do things that are very considered and thought through. I like things best when they're just done because they're fun or beautiful, or simply because they are what that one person wanted to do at that one time.

There's a thing in the U.K., particularly in London, where it's kind of the idea of subculture and counterculture and the outside and the idea that it's great to be a freak, and the freak always wins. So I think English girls are a lot less scared of being the freak or looking like an idiot.

My role is to embody the Black Opium woman - I suppose you have to be the living embodiment of all the intangible things the brand stands for.

If I wasn't modelling, I'd probably be an intern somewhere, working for someone who interned the year before me.
