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.

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

I understand that the rule of fashion is to change, even as a successful designer - you do not want to be stuck in the same rut.

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

Plus-sized women shouldnt think of themselves as a size. They should think of themselves as women with rich goals in life. Size doesn’t mean, really, anything. You can carry your size with pride and dress in a way that you like.

When I meet celebrities, I have to know what they are like and only then can I design. The clothes have to fit their personality.

I think sex is part of life, like eating and breathing.
