I think I should be a president. President of the United States.

I am constantly trying to reflect the way women are treated. It's hard to interpret that in clothes or in a show but there's always an underlying, sinister side to women's sexuality in my work because of the way I have seen women treated in my life. Where I come from, a woman met a man, had babies, moved to Dagenham, two up two down, made the dinner, went to bed. That was my image of women and I didn't want that. I wanted to get that out of my head.

I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.

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

I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.

Life to me is a bit of a (Brothers) Grimm fairy tale.

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