We are so excited for what's next. I think that's what I love most about it, the energy and the excitement that comes from that.

The first item I designed for a real person was when I was about 10 and I made my first item of clothing for myself.

Body-con dresses have never been something I've been into.

The ideas can come from anywhere; the energy just comes from loving what I do.

I loved the idea that people dressed up to go to the gardens. Our work always has a utility point of view at its heartbeat and then other things come around it, so it really allowed us to use denims and suedes and gauzes, and those sorts of hard-working fabrics - workwear fabrics - and then contrast them with crepe de chine, beautiful florals and big jewelry.

You never really know if it's going to happen or not do you but the vision was always for [Karen Walker] to be a global niche luxury product.

What I like about eyewear is that it can work with a lot of different looks. You can wear it with a Balenciaga dress, or something that is straight and very quirky.
