Your parents are always a big influence on you. They help you make you who you are. The main thing my parents taught me is just to be a nice person – to be generous, kind and happy. I hope it comes off when I work and meet people. – Amber Le Bon
I love Maje, Rick Owens, Helmut Lang, Christopher Kane, Felder + Felder, and Sam Edelman shoes. – Amber Le Bon
I love Forever 21. A friend of mine introduced it to me when I was in New York. I was borrowing a dress and said, ‘Where’s that from?’ and she said, ‘Oh, it’s Forever 21,’ and I said, ‘What, I’ve never heard of that!’ and she said, ‘Oh it’s this American brand,’ and I thought, ‘Why doesn’t England have that; why doesn’t Europe have one?’ – Amber Le Bon
If I’m feeling in a naughty mood, I’ll steal some of Mama’s Creme De La Mer. If I’m feeling in a very naughty mood, I’ll steal some of Daddy’s Creme De La Mer. On the whole though, I’m very low maintenance. – Amber Le Bon
I always accessorise with jewellery. I am a bit of a magpie; I love sparkles, and so wearing jewellery makes me feel more exciting and confident, too! – Amber Le Bon
I don’t really see myself as a socialite or as a ‘child of someone.’ I’d rather be working than going to fashion parties all the time. – Amber Le Bon
That’s my one rule: always take off my makeup; no matter how tired I am before going to bed, it comes off! – Amber Le Bon
I don’t really go out that much, if I’m honest. I’m quite a recluse. If I had my way, I’d probably be at home most of the time with a book and a cup of tea or glass of wine. – Amber Le Bon
Get a really good coat that will last a couple of years and that you can’t wait to put on when the weather starts to turn. – Amber Le Bon
The life of a model is so varied that I never know what will be happening from one week to the next. – Amber Le Bon
A tip for looking ‘picture perfect’ is probably a smile. I think everyone looks better when they are happy; you give off a glow – or at least that is what my mum would say! – Amber Le Bon
I think it’s the easiest thing in the world to be friendly and say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ I try and remember it and use it. – Amber Le Bon
To me, the most important thing is to wear something that I love and feel comfortable in, and Christmas is a great opportunity to get one of my old favourites out. – Amber Le Bon
I actually love shopping in vintage shops. What I do with the high street, I buy it, then keep it for a while and then wear it when everyone’s not wearing it. So I do that: stock up, then keep it hidden! – Amber Le Bon
I’m very low maintenance. I use Simple wipes to take off my makeup, wash my hair with whatever’s in the shower. – Amber Le Bon
I use Simple face wipes and Nivea face cream. For my body any kind of body butter, the more moisturising the better. – Amber Le Bon
Throw out the rule book. If you like wearing navy and black together, wear it; if you like mixing up gold and silver jewellery, mix it. If you like it, wear it – don’t care about what anyone else thinks. – Amber Le Bon
I always accessorize with jewelry. I am a bit of a magpie; I love sparkles, and so wearing jewelry makes me feel more exciting and confident, too! – Amber Le Bon
My mum is great for keeping hold of old classics – pieces of clothing that never age and never go out of fashion. – Amber Le Bon
My mum is great for keeping hold of old classics – pieces of clothing that never age and never go out of fashion. She also says, ‘Make sure you always smile – it makes everything look better!’ – Amber Le Bon
I don’t know where I see myself next month let alone five years. My whole life is last minute. I enjoy the spontaneity of it; I like not knowing what I will do next or whether I will be in the country next week. I just enjoy being around a creative environment. – Amber Le Bon
If I’m not feeling super confident about an outfit or a little insecure – I’ll probably accessorize my outfit with some jewelry. – Amber Le Bon
You have to live through things. You can’t have other people telling you to do that and do this. It’s important to live through things. – Amber Le Bon
My style is definitely schizophrenic; it does change from day to day a lot. It depends on my mood: sometimes I’ll be going through a girly, childlike stage and wear a pretty lace dress with a bow in my hair. Then sometimes I’ll be moody and just wear black. – Amber Le Bon
Being put in a group, I hate that. I don’t think anyone likes it. Everyone just wants to be their own person. – Amber Le Bon
