I was educated in London at Central Saint Martins and had this whole thing about getting together with a lot of international students. Twenty-three languages were spoken during our lunch breaks! The school was very open minded, you could do whatever you wanted. Some people loved that freedom, others got lost. Gareth Pugh was a classmate, and so was Peter Jensen.

I think the British government's cutting back of arts funding is such a crime. I bet it will happen in Denmark soon, too.

I would say I'm a musician first, actually. I started playing music when I was 10. Then I started designing, went to school, set up a proper business about 10 years ago - our anniversary coming up. But I've played music throughout and still am.

Inspiration comes from everywhere. Western, Non-Western cultures - I'm open-minded. I love to travel. But not only for inspiration. Alas, timewise, I have a problem with that. Touring, museums, designing, babies.

I had a dream about building a house on a dock, composed from 100 triangles. You'd have to sail from room to room. And maybe the entrance would be the mouth of a whale.

I'm thinking about doing dusty colors - we definitely are doing as much color as we can. It seems that fashion is back on track with color - I hope. It's been very black for awhile.

I think all artists secretly hope their kids might do something safer and straitlaced: maybe my daughter 'll be a banker.
