I can't get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it's just crass.

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

The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today

It's the ugly things I notice more, because other people tend to ignore the ugly things.

Some designers are so airy-fairy people can't connect with them. I hope people can relate to me, to a normal person who just happens to be a fashion designer, that people can take me as they find me. It's not the designer's job to care about what people think. Whatever else I've done, I've never tried to be something that I'm not.

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.

Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
