Coco Rocha

Something I always look for in an outfit is to have a standout piece.

My wedding dress is a piece of art that I'll treasure forever. It was designed and created by Zac Posen. I gave him only the tiniest bit of direction when he started, and the end product was more beautiful than anything I could have imagined.

Models are supposed to be a muse to you. Why is a muse always the same body type, the same look? It's boring.

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 think, as long as you're secure with yourself and happy with yourself, it really doesn't matter what the world around you thinks.

When I started, I knew nothing about fashion. I remember, my first day going to my agency, I was wearing these huge bell-bottoms - they were patchwork corduroy and denim, which, at the time, I thought were amazing. My agent told me, 'You have a casting with Prada - you have to burn those jeans.'

I know what I want, I know where I'm going and I'm happy with what I am.

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.'

Girls are told they're not skinny enough, or they hear, 'She's old. She's boring. We've had her. She's not tiny anymore.' A lot of people don't take into account the vulnerability of these young girls.

I always wear what I'm comfortable in. If one designer doesn't like what I'm wearing, the next one will.
