Now I design what I want to wear, and it works that way.

I work with people I admire and respect. It's never because of who they are.

I am an avid follower of the news, and sometimes you just can't take any more war, any more disasters, and you want to remind yourself there's beauty in the world. I wanted to show a more poetic side to my work. It was all about... a feeling of sadness, but in a cinematic kind of way. I find beauty in melancholy.

You've got to know the rules to break them.

For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium.

I think there is beauty in everything. What 'normal' people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.

London's where I was brought up. It's where my heart is and where I get my inspiration.
