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

I ride my bike, I work out, I do a bit of, er, dancey things.

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.

It's not realistic to live in the country at this stage. I've got a business in London. I beat myself up about it all the time.

My biggest surprises in my everyday job have to do with the challenges of trying to be slightly more responsible as a brand.

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

For me, women's ski wear has always been black and, again, not as feminine or sexy as I think it could look while still having the technology there.
