We had been doing reveals, one particularly for Vivienne Westwood, and it was Linda, Christy, Naomi — all the large ladies — and Kate arrived about six inches shorter than everybody else. This little college lady from Croydon who regarded very, very completely different from the Amazonian glamorous, virtually cartoon-like, supermodels. I bear in mind pondering, ‘Oh God, she’s gonna look so small on the runway with all these ladies’. However she bought on and was actually unbelievable. For that tiny, skinny little individual to carry their very own with these enormous, skilled folks in platforms — all of us mentioned, wow. She’s nonetheless that lady. Kate’s by no means actually been anybody else. She’s not some kind of faux creation of a PR crew, it’s very a lot Kate — flaws and all.
