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.

The main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.

Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time.

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

I think my mum was really very ahead of her time. She wore very little makeup. She really explored the way that she wore clothes in a very honest way. She wore a lot of vintage stuff and mixed it with bespoke men's tailoring and things like that. That was a huge influence on me, seeing a woman in the spotlight carry herself in that kind of way. But mostly, for me, it was just that she was an incredibly honest and sort of natural person.

The really great thing about my shoe store is that there's not one dead animal in it.

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