I was a fashion addict by the time I was 11 years old. I'd wear a miniskirt and patent-leather boots.

Alexander McQueen... The fashion world has not only lost an icon but we have also lost a very special friend.

I have long been a fan and enthusiast where art is concerned.

In fashion, women have more sensitivity, more sense of the body, so they know how things fit and feel. Yet there are not many women who study fashion. It's ridiculous.

I have worked with wool all my life as a designer. There's so much more to it than knitwear - it's an amazingly versatile material and can be used in so many different ways from chic to rustic.

Some men look great unshaven; others just look like they forgot to shave. Beards and mustaches can be really distinctive if you go for an earthy, rock-and-roll look like the Kings of Leon or the Killers.
