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. – Edie Campbell
I think there is something to be said for not feeling like just because you’re a model you have to be dressed up, look amazing, go to every party, and be smiling all the time. – Edie Campbell
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?’ – Edie Campbell
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. – Edie Campbell
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. – Edie Campbell
I needed to pay for my horses in Warwickshire, and I couldn’t do that off a waitress’ wage. – Edie Campbell
If I wasn’t modelling, I’d probably be an intern somewhere, working for someone who interned the year before me. – Edie Campbell
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. – Edie Campbell
What I like about Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is that it’s an understated scent that’s somehow familiar. – Edie Campbell
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. – Edie Campbell
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. – Edie Campbell
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. – Edie Campbell
It’s amazing to be able to work with people right at the top of whatever they do… inspiring photographers and stylists with very interesting visual language. The more I do it, the more I enjoy it. – Edie Campbell
Maybe the Burberry woman is undefinable! I think it’s less about what she looks like and more about an attitude. – Edie Campbell
People need to take a breath and remember that it’s only fashion. Relax. No one’s going to die. – Edie Campbell
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.’ – 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. – Edie Campbell
It’s very good for you, riding. You know how every model is like, ‘I do yoga.’ Well, I find horses to have the same effect, in that you have to put your ego aside and concentrate on making the horse do the things you want it to do, and move in the way you want it to move – particularly if you’re doing dressage. – Edie Campbell
The more I mistreat my hair, the stronger it grows back. I think it must be determined to survive. – Edie Campbell
I think Stella Tennant is amazing. And then I really loved all those ’60s society models, like Edie Sedgwick. – Edie Campbell
