Erin OConnor Quotes

How awful to be a perfect beauty! How confusing! God. Can you imagine? Picture Quote #1

I love vintage clothes. But they don’t love me very much. It is difficult to find anything that fits me because of my height, but if I do fall in love with something, I’ll buy it and display it like a work of art at home Picture Quote #1

When I was at primary school, we had this theory that if you ate an egg, it meant you’d get pregnant and give birth to a chicken or another egg. It was something we dared together. I avoided eggs for years, but now they’re my favourite food Picture Quote #1

I am aware it’s easy and may be fashionable to pose with a slum child, and the irony of getting the media along means that it can come across as disingenuous. But you take these things on board, and you hope you mean it whenever you get stuck into something Picture Quote #1

Starting my career in London was no accident because the city and the industry here are all about theatre and drama, and I respond well to that Picture Quote #1

I can play the flute. Music was my favourite A-level, and I used to love composing my and stylising my voice to sound like 90’s singing sensation Tori Amos Picture Quote #1

When I was 13 or 14, my parents had a bit of a windfall so bought a lovely new kitchen, but I burnt it down. I was making cheese on toast when flames escaped from the grill. My father stopped the fire with blind panic and excessive water. I was forgiven, but it put me off cooking for years Picture Quote #1

I worry about how accessible cosmetic surgery has become. Of course, if it has genuinely helped people, and their confidence has grown as a result; who am I to form an opinion? Picture Quote #1

My hair is an untidy bob. I am very dark, but I embellish the roots because I am white in one clump Picture Quote #1

With high fashion, it’s a performance. You’re trying to interpret a fantasy in a very physical way, and you really are playing a character. I’ve played men, dead people, famous people, historical icons, and it’s no mean feat. It’s quite an insular experience even though the crowd is in front of you and there’s an expectation Picture Quote #1

There are great slender models, great tall models, Amazonian models, great busty models - my point is models of all shapes and sizes, age, ethnic background should be embraced and celebrated Picture Quote #1

Cycling is a great way to learn about your city. I love being outdoors, especially in good weather, but I’m not a fair weather cyclist. I’m happy to get a red nose in the cold Picture Quote #1

I’ve been on both sides: the victim and the villain. I was the victimised model, and everything from my weight to my fertility was held up for discussion. And then I was the person that could garner some kind of positive outcome, by taking on the role of vice chairman of the British Fashion Council and becoming an activist of body image Picture Quote #1

I love the sun, but we don’t get on at all; it doesn’t agree with my Celtic tones. I also like nothing better than putting on a big ski jacket and feeling the wind in my face Picture Quote #1

Clothes are like a suit of armour when you’re young. I was quite a shy teen, so I wanted to make aggressive statements with the way I looked. I’d say my goth/indie stage was the worst: there was a lot of experimentation involving pink food dye in my fringe Picture Quote #1

The model sanctuary was borne of a complex, political, societal debate. It was proposed to us from various bodies that we give models medicals once a year, and if they didn’t pass that medical, there’s a chance they’d legally lose their right to work Picture Quote #1

I had one particular handbag disaster when I couldn’t get into it, and when I finally did, it flew over the red carpet and was caught by 200 lenses. Not a great moment Picture Quote #1

The great outdoors is a theme with me; a walking holiday in Scotland is perfect - Culloden and the forests of Aviemore are both favourites Picture Quote #1

In my work, I’m called to a job at the drop of a hat, so I like a sense of order to my holidays, and holding a map makes me happy Picture Quote #1

I love the physicality of my job and how my mind and body are most happy when I’m expressing and moving. My face was always secondary to body alignment and the dynamism of making a moment come alive Picture Quote #1

It makes me cross when I hear people say, ‘It’s so last season.’ I always say, ‘It’s vintage.’ Picture Quote #1

In my job, I am portrayed as a misfit, a grandiose high fashion lady or an unearthly creature. At home, it’s important I can look in the mirror, strip away the disguise and be comfortable with who stares back Picture Quote #1

As I began to get a deeper understanding of the vital life-saving work Save the Children does, I felt compelled to help in any way I could. This is about safe-keeping, inspiring and empowering a future generation - to facilitate them to make their own lives a little bit better Picture Quote #1

As a child I wanted to be a ballerina, ice-cream van owner, wife of George Michael, a nun, and a music conductor Picture Quote #1

Fashion is intoxicating, and it plays a part in all of our everyday lives. A lot of people use it as a form of escape, of realising a fantasy, and in some ways that becomes an unobtainable norm Picture Quote #1

I can play the flute. Music was my favourite A-level, and I used to love composing my and stylising my voice to sound like 90’s singing sensation Tori Amos Picture Quote #1

I have two curiosity cabinets at home filled with finds from jumble sales, markets and my travels. My favourite piece is a voodoo mask from just outside Cape Town Picture Quote #1

I’ve been cycling ever since I was a kid. I remember taking my cycling proficiency test aged seven - I got to school at 7:30 A.M. to practise, I was so nervous. After that, I always cycled to school Picture Quote #1

As a small child, me and my pals fantasised about one day owning an ice-cream van. To have ice creams on demand would have been a dream come true Picture Quote #1

I am selective. If I do splash out, it’s an investment, and I wear things for years Picture Quote #1
