I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

When I started out in fashion, everything had to be very structured and tight and controlling, and now I'm getting to a point where I think - I could wear a great big parka, that could be quite fabulous. I haven't always got to show off my size, show off my shape. It's a turning point for me.

I have always loved fashion since I was a kid and customized my school uniforms.

I don’t follow fashion and I don’t follow trends, I just follow my instincts...

I become quite obsessive when I get into something.

I do go to football sometimes but I don't know the offside rule or free-kicks - or side kicks - or whatever they're called.

We get death threats, kidnapping threats. The press criticizes my weight. It's just the English way.
