I'm really glad that I kept the gap. There are a lot of iconic women from past and present who have one.

When I was younger, most people thought my lips looked like Tweety Bird's - there were always comments like that from family and neighbors.
My lips are a lot thinner than what makeup artists usually create, because they make them almost graphic.
I try to be extra creative with the colors and textures I wear during fashion week. It's not for street style, though; I just like dressing sometimes.
I don't believe in putting petroleum or preservatives on my skin. Over time, you kind of just want to go back to basics.
I measure the amount of shows I should do by my hair. If my hair isn't good for campaigns and editorials, then obviously I am not going to look good.
Being nervous is a waste of time.
I love singing, it lifts my spirit.
If I didn't ever model? I would be back in Kansas. I would probably end up being a pastry chef. My grandma taught me how to make a pie.
Overall, I'm a mix of a lot of different quirks, from my dimples to my eyebrows to my lips, which I've always felt were just one of my signature features.
Modelling has really helped build my confidence.
I've always liked playing with makeup. It's fun. I love going places and getting dressed up.
I wear everything to jeans and a t-shirt to Zac Posen ball gowns.
I love using color.
I love hats! I collect vintage ones - I find them at antique shops in Kansas.
If you're a model, you're paid to be a muse.
I really like Amelia Earhart. She's from Kansas. She disappeared, so I have to take her place. I want to be Dorothy. I want to be Amelia Earhart... I want to do it all.
If you're a model, you're supposed to know how to walk, aren't you?
I actually use baking soda to exfoliate my lips - I mix a little bit with water and use my fingers to lightly scrub with it. Then I use jojoba oil and olive oil to keep them moisturized.
I was actually always really self-conscious about my gap. In middle school, this group of girls were always trying to beat me up - they called my gap a parking lot. It was a really awkward time.
I'm a really natural person; I love nature.
To feel at ease, I wear trousers and a cashmere sweater.
My style reflects my mood, the place I'm in, and the place I'm going to.
I dress myself, not to impress, but for comfort and for style.
You can't just come from Kansas, go into fashion and be all naive. The fashion world is very different to where I'm from.
Real success is not, like, materialistic. It's being where you want to be when you want to be; just living your life how you feel; having an ultimate goal and being able to accomplish it.
