Production chains, how consumers can drive change: all these things may seem at odds with fashion, but arguably, they're not.

America has had an influence on me, as has going out with a Cuban-American guy and having lots of American friends. But I am still fundamentally British and speak with a British accent and feel very English.

There's an inherent contradiction between appreciating the beauty of clothes and creativity and individuality, and the waste around the ideas of trends and seasons.

Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.

The narrative of so many fairy tales are timeless in so many different cultures, and they have been since the dawn of man. They represent escapism, but they all feature themes that have such poignancy in a modern world.

I don't personally follow trends; I don't even like the idea of trends. I think it's kind of absurd that you have to change every six months, so I always try and buy things that hopefully I'll like forever, and resonate with me.

I have set up several businesses as social businesses, and I am a great believer that the power of business should be used for good.
