I am not a great believer in fairy tales. Every woman should fight hard for her own happy endings. Although occasionally it is nice to wake up as a princess.

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

I always wear high heels - I simply feel naked without them.

I'm a designer, and I work very hard at that. People sometimes want to put down fashion by saying it's frivolous or superficial, but it's not that way at all. It's actually very hard work.

Fashion needs fresh blood, and London is the most creative place for that.

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.

For me the safety pin is about rebellion, and I'm punk in the soul.
