I do think if you aim for quality, it's not so much about consumerism. The idea is 'Buy less, choose well, make it last.'

I was born during the war and grew up in a time of rationing. We didn't have anything. It's influenced the way I look at the world.

Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It's always sexy, and it's always with the same result: making women look fantastic.

Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody’s buying far too many clothesI mean, I know I’m lucky, I can just take things and borrow them and I’m just okay, but I hate having too many clothes. And I think that poor people should be even more careful. It doesn't mean therefore you have to just buy anything cheap. Instead of buying six things, buy one thing that you really like. Don't keep buying just for the sake of it.

Nothing is costed properly and it's destroying the earth. We need to re-educate people that what is good for the planet is good for the financial system.

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.

Instead of buying six things, buy one thing that you really like. Don't keep buying just for the sake of it.
