Don't quote me but … "I love going through and finding treasures. I see things other people don't, sometimes. It's very random, but I have this … radar. I'll think, 'Mmm, I fancy wearing a legging' and then, all of a sudden, on the runways it's all leggings. And it's not like we've talked. You just know, it's like a collective consciousness. It's weird. You can't explain it at all."
