Film has always been a really good tool for me to communicate emotion about why I create a collection. I'm probably one of the first designers to make short films.

Because I'm a designer, I'm quite good when I shop. I know what I'm looking for.

I haven't been to a job interview since I was 16 years old. When I was approached by Givenchy it was more like a courtship.

Shirt collars are very important to me. Putting a very soft shirt collar with a formal suit doesn't work for me at all.

I have my fashion empire to build.

If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it well. That's just my character, that's just the way it is with me.

I'm ready to do womenswear. You've always got to be inspired by something new - women have so much more shape and I'm about finding what to engineer around those shapes.
