I always wanted to create a collection inspired by sports. I never played sports, maybe that's why it intrigues me.

I always say that I'm really inspired by mistakes and things that kind of go wrong.

There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.

Probably the earliest memories for me would be going to restaurants with my family.

I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.

A lot of designers get caught up in the creativity, but you've got to think about the legs of your collection - essentially, how the line is going to move forward.

When you focus on the consumer, the consumer responds.
