I don't think dressing has anything to do with numbers. I know people of 30 who act like they're 97, and I have a few old-bag friends who are very hip.

My mother knew if you bought a couple of really good architectural outfits and put your money into accessories, you could create a million different looks. She taught that to me, which I think was invaluable.

I think dressing up or down should be a creative experience. Exciting. Fun. For me the key to personal style lies in accessories. I love objects from different worlds, different eras, combined my way. Never uptight, achieving - hopefully - a kind of throwaway chic

You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style.

To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!

I don’t expect to find inspiration. It just sort of comes. Sometimes you step on a bug and you get inspired.

I think fashion is just part of my life and if it hadn't of been fashion then it would have been something else.
