I think the world is really small today, and fashion, from that end of it, it's instantaneous everywhere.

I don't like to get pigeonholed. I don't like it when people think they have you sewn up.

The '40s were quite austere and super glamorous.

I think part of what we do is there is a bit of dandy influence, always, or a little sprinkle of it. Not literal Savile Row dandy, but there's a bit of sartorial dandiness in everything that we do - every collection that we do.

I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.

I think if you're a creative person, then you're always kinda looking to move things along - 'Where else can I go? Where can I take this?' From painters to photographers - anything creative in the arts - if you're a true artist, I think you'll always look to do something else. 'Where else can I go with it?' Do you know what I mean?

You can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well.
