I always design the hat with the wearer in mind; otherwise, it's an inanimate object.
A person carries off the hat. Hats are about emotion. It is all about how it makes you feel.
I'm Irish but I design something that is quintessentially English and I love hats.
Elegance is all in the mind of the wearer.
I must point out - Sarah Jessica Parker is not a diva - she's one of these pop culture characters that everybody likes.
Fashion is an illusion. It's a multibillion-pound industry that has to appear frivolous. Designers work and work and work, all night sometimes.
