I am a perfect being in a perfect world.

It's quite nice to see that I didn't have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.

I've learned a lot about doing accessories and making shoes and handbags. I don't think my perspective has really changed. The subtlety of understanding yarns, what makes a fabric what it is - I've learned technical skills and more about the craft.

I think scent is sensual. I guess evoking a mood or a spirit is key, and I think with the women's fragrances we have evoked different types, moods or sensibilities of a woman - whether it's Daisy with the sweetness and the innocence or Lola which is more provocative, sexy and sultry.

Creativity in any form stimulates creativity in every form, music, arts, literature... I find inspiration in anything. It's all the same.

It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.

When I was starting out, it seemed like there were so many girls who were known by their first names, who were unique, who all had idiosyncrasies and characteristics that made them individual. Those girls stuck around; you'd work with them season after season. But now it's completely different.
