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.

I don’t want to do a cocktail party. I’d rather people left my shows and vomited.

If you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I'm not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.

People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.

I like things to be modern and still have a bit of tradition

There is no better designer than nature

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