We try to make earth-friendly decisions whenever we can, as it's part of our brand DNA.

I run a lot. If I don't have time to go to the gym or don't have time to work out properly, I will go for a quick run. I think running is a great way to stay fit, and I really concentrate on fitting into a realistic urban lifestyle.

I get a real kick out of it, seeing people wear my designs.

I never wanted to make it too easy for people to sum me up.

At times I make music, but in private.

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

The really great thing about my shop is that there's not one dead animal in it. ... Manolo's got a load of fabric shoes as well! We use plastic, fabric, rubber- anything but leather. I almost feel like I've been put here to show everyone that it's unnecessary.
