I'm 40 now, but I want this to be a company that lives way beyond me, and I believe that customers are more important to making that happen than press. When I'm dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship. Hopping up and down above earth.

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

I find beauty in melancholy.

Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.

If you're an open book, there's no allure.

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

Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive.
