I think it took me a little while to be true to myself as a designer, and in some ways I'm still trying to do that. I have to choose things that come naturally to me. Whenever I challenge something too much or try too hard, it never quite works out.

Now, get out there and kick ass!

Depending on the season, between 20 and 30 percent of my collections contain some sort of eco or sustainable element, whether it's a beautiful organic fabric or a natural dye. And obviously I don't use animal skins or fur of any kind.

The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.

I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.

I think it's very wrong to have the mass murder, every single day, of millions of animals.

There's nothing fashionable about a dead animal that has been cruelly killed just because some people think it looks cool to wear.
