I had a suit made for me when I was five. It was double-breasted, mohair and purple. My mother was very particular about clothing - it always used to have to go back into the plastic and it used to drive me insane.

Film is such a very good tool for communicating emotions, and all designers and creative people look to inspire an emotional response.

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.

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

I'm not into street clothes. Don't understand it. I don't understand those over-exaggerated jean sizes so they hang off your back... I just don't understand it.

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

If you're a designer, there's got to be some films that you've seen that have inspired you creatively. There's no escaping that.
