Elegance is all in the mind of the wearer.

A person carries off the hat. Hats are about emotion. It is all about how it makes you feel.

Fashion is an illusion. It's a multibillion-pound industry that has to appear frivolous. Designers work and work and work, all night sometimes.

You know that scenario where roses are red, leaves are green, I love arguing that. ‘Why should they be?’. I hate rules and formulas. That’s so boring. It’s the opposite of creativity. Rules are ridiculous things that are meant to be broken.

I must point out - Sarah Jessica Parker is not a diva - she's one of these pop culture characters that everybody likes.

Royalty is completely different than celebrity. Royalty has a magic all its own.

I believe that I am a hat designer, not a milliner.
