People constantly make the mistake of comparing London with New York, Milan and Paris and that's not what it's about. London has its own fashion identity. You come here to find the next Alexander McQueen or John Galliano.

Fashion is not beautiful, neither is it ugly. Why should it be either? Fashion is fashion.

I'd just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses.

You can’t really worry too much…about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.

The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn't true.

Fashion is a reflection of our times. Fashion can tell you everything that's going on in the world with a strong fashion image.

People respond well to those that are sure of what they want.
