Even though the industry is very big and there's lots of money, when it gets down to it, whether it's a photographer or a designer, as well as a stylist or makeup artist, you're really only working with maybe four or five people on a project. It's all quite small and intimate.

People comment, and that's where we are now. It's the way the world is.

The Brits always favor the underdog. There's an eccentricity to us, and I think you can see that through the fash- ion and the music and the way people look.

I'm very lucky that I've worked mainly with two amazing photographers in David Sims and Steven Meisel.

Everyone has an opinion and I think we're at a time which is very heated all over the world, so of course people will speak out. And they have every right to.

I'm not saying that everything I do is always tasteful - and maybe it's not always the normal idea of beauty - but hopefully it's always an empowering idea.

Beauty shouldn't be taken too seriously. Life is stressful enough! Hair should be creative and crazy.
