I'm a fun person. I like cracking jokes and being completely nerdy.

If I have an hour in a city, I go to vintage stores first because it's so much cooler to find a piece that is unique. I love the thought of some girl having worn it before and living her life in it.

I am very much aware of the visual side of things. I do a lot of photography. I often take Polaroids of things that strike me as visually interesting, just to remember them and perhaps use later.

There will always be a desire for something new, fresh and innovative, as well as a yearning and respect for timeless elegance and beauty.

So many times I've wanted to crack up, standing there stiff while seven women are crawling round my toes fixing hems and the designer's having a freak-out because the denim cuffs are crooked. I'm on the verge of hysteria.

There've been times when I've bought a whole pound of cheese and walked down the street and eaten it in one go.

I love playing around with vintage fabrics and lace.
