I think some people would love to be able to make the clothes I make - and of course, I do influence them, but they keep simplifying, and minimalism doesn't quite work

I don't have space to enter into the examples or the history of this, so I'm left with having to make the bold statement that culture is extinct.

Britishness is just a way of putting things together and a certain don't care attitude about clothes. You don't care, you just do it and it looks great.

The thing that makes my clothes really different is that, number one, they are really great designs; they're not tacky; they are very professional; the design is made from lots of decisions.

If you wear clothes that don't suit you, you're a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.

The most erotic zone is the imagination.

I didn't know how a working-class girl like me could possibly make a living in the art world
