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.

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 mean, you can't walk down the aisle in Westminster Abbey in a strapless dress, it just won't happen - it has to suit the grandeur of that aisle, it's enormous.

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.

My aim is to make you look the best you can and if that means a little bit of internal pulling and hoisting up, then so be it.

Don't take things too seriously.
