Do I dream very much? Do I dream predominantly about fashion? No. I dream much more about cats.

Fashion isn't just frocks. It's how we do our houses, our gardens, it's what we eat and drink.

Do I dream very much? Do I dream predominantly about fashion? No. I dream much more about cats.

For me, one of the most important aspects of my work is to give people something to dream about, just as I used to dream all those years ago as a child looking at beautiful photographs. I still weave dreams, finding inspiration wherever I can and looking for romance in the real, not the digital, world

I think I got left behind somewhere, because, you know, I'm still a romantic

Three rules of success in fashion: perseverance, dream a bit and be passionate about it.

You have to go charging ahead, you can't stay behind.
