I'd rather people turn up than not. And of course I'd rather have people be enthusiastic.

I confess to being a frustrated musician.

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

I'm not offended or embarrassed by the fact that I design clothes for women to wear. So when I meet women who love my clothes, it's a really good, straightforward thing. It makes me feel like I'm doing my job right.

Sometimes I wish I were less sensible.

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 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.
