Clemence Poesy

I knew fashion was going to be part of my job, so I thought I might as well have fun with it.

I feel like I'm extremely normal. I do have a bizarre face that's a bit out of proportion. I guess that's why some people see me as strange.

I've often been told that I'm a bit strange. I hear that pretty regularly, but it is not how I see myself.

I constantly make fashion mistakes but I think it's good to take risks.

For me, it's about not being too aware of what you look like because if you are, you're trying too hard and I don't think that actually makes you look good... I've known from very early on that I don't look perfect.

I think denim is something everyone feels comfortable in. It's kind of my uniform, really.

I'm always so impressed with these actresses with their perfect make up and hair and sometimes I'm very aware that I'm not like that. But I don't think I can do things any other way. I would be wearing a disguise if I started to apply that stuff.

I love fashion, and I've always wanted to do costume design, but I'm in jeans and T-shirts most of the time.

I just love a girl in a hat. It's really sexy.

A film is a great deal about what you see, and the silhouette of a character tells you a lot. I'd love to go into film costume.

I'm always curious about anyone who has enough passion to go onstage and say, 'This is what I'm really passionate about.' It's always worth listening to.

I am interested in costume. Clothes in your daily life are important: your choices say something about you, even if what they're saying is about non-choice. And what you wear in a film is crucial.
