Katie Holmes, 31, is the cover model for New York Magazine‘s Fall Fashion issue. Inside the magazine, Katie talks about everything from her husband Tom Cruise to working on set with her daughter Suri.

Here’s what Katie had to say about starting her new fashion line with stylist Jeanne Yang:

“I started making clothes for Suri when she was born, designing dresses, and then having seamstresses sew them, because I don’t sew very well. As a child, I was always drawing clothes, and I’ve always loved fabrics, and when Suri was born, I wanted to have certain things be from me and created just by me for her. And so that kind of got me into it, and then one day, Jeanne and I were getting ready for something and we thought, men have such beautiful tailored shirts, they have such a uniform, and we thought it would be nice to make things that are simple that you can have forever.”

She also discussed Suri’s love for fashion. Katie has very chic style, but it’s nothing compared to Suri’s outrageous taste:

“I grew up the youngest of five, so there were a lot of hand-me-downs that I would sort of change up. And Suri and I do that now with her clothes. Or rather, she does it. She says, “I want this sleeve cut,” and it’s like, “Okay, we’ll cut it.” She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was 1½. Tom and I went to the Met ball a couple of years ago, and I had this beautiful red gown and these royal-blue shoes that I wasn’t planning on wearing, but Suri made me put them on and so I was like, “Okay, I trust you.”

Katie was asked if she ever reads the speculation about her marriage with Tom. She responded:

“It’s there, it’s one of those things. My big concern is what does he have going, what do I have going, what are we going to do this weekend. It must seem weird, I guess, having so many people watching. It is weird. I get it. But you just, you know, smile and nod.”

Who would’ve thought that a sweet girl on Dawson’s Creek would become so famous? I love Katie’s style. I’m interested to see her designs come to life. I’ve always appreciated her simple, clean lines, and how she can make a plain dress look like a million bucks with the right pair of shoes. Remember what a fuss she created when she cut her hair in that 20′s style bob? My fingers are crossed for a success!
