Let me not forget the use of my own hands, that of a craftsman with eyes... that reflect the technology around me.

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

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

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

There is no better designer than nature

Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.

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.
