At the beginning, Edo was a photographer, and I was more of a talent scout and doing styling and modelling. Then all of a sudden, in 1977, he gave me a Polaroid camera, and I discovered that instead of having to go to a lab and develop the film, I could just take a click and get a picture! It was genius, and I was very good at manipulating it.
I would say there's always a movement of music and fashion in youth culture - every decade inspires the new one.
I became a freelance stylist to survive, and then I had a kid. I bankrupted in 1988 and had a kid in 1990.
I think Madonna might have a multiple personality.
Madonna and I worked very closely. I was more like the big sister to her.
