Someone from Manolo Blahnik went into my shop and said: 'These shoes are not vegetarian.' That's the highest compliment, because you just can't tell that they are, and they are. My mum taught me to have a soul.

When you think of fashion photography, it's a dream. It's like we all want to be those women. We want to wear those dresses.

Whether you eat meat of not, you can be part of this decision to limit the meat industry destroying our planet's resources.

I was first drawn to active wear because I enjoy working out, and it's very important in this day in age. I really felt women were getting the tail end of the design in active wear; not getting the technology or design we deserved. It was reserved for men. We were getting the leftover work from the sports design houses.

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

It's incredibly important that if you have the dream of having your own house, you don't pretend to be something you're not. Ultimately, it's unsustainable and people will see through. You have to work; you can't expect your dreams to be handed to you on a plate.
