I was getting a lot of editorial, as in lots of pages in 'Vogue,' but it's far more important to get your dresses on the back of a famous person. Charlotte Rampling in Bruce Oldfield. That sells.

I can think of a lot of women clients of mine who are well into their 50s or 60s who are still quintessentially very elegant.

I'm not that interested in fashion... When someone says that lime-green is the new black for this season, you just want to tell them to get a life.

Stay small and control it yourself.

If someone's got good, clean skin, with not too much make-up on, and good, clean hair that's bouncy, and the nails are clean and not overly done, then you can put anything on her and she's going to look good.

Fashion is more usually a gentle progression of revisited ideas.

I've generally got a good eye for design and proportion.
