People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don't see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality.

When we put the antlers on the model and then draped over it the lace embroidery that we had made, we had to poke them through a £2,000 piece of work. But then it worked because it looks like she's rammed the piece of lace with her antlers. There's always spontaneity. You've got to allow for that in my shows.

There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company. (But) I always remember that it's the fantasy, the artistic side, that makes customers want to buy the straightforward black pants.

I oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil.

I think there is beauty in everything.

It needs to connect with the earth. Things that are processed and reprocessed lose their substance.

Let me not forget the use of my own hands, that of a craftsman with eyes... that reflect the technology around me.
