When I was a kid, I was trendier. I'd wear anything. I was in love beads and platforms...

I don't even think of going to Europe as going to another country now.

In early days, I showed everything I made. There was no such thing as editing a collection. In the '80s, it got to the point where we'd have shows with a hundred looks. You'd want to order a pizza before it was over!

Give me Caviar Kaspia and give me a hamburger. I love the two extremes.

I know what women look good in. I don't think the rules ever change.

Seventy per cent of the clothes you own should be meat and potatoes. Thirty per cent should be icing and fluff - that's colour, pattern, shine, accessories. Too many women get the proportions the other way round, then can't figure out why they can't get dressed.

Ultimately, clean lines have greater longevity, which women appreciate, and to which they can add their own personality
