I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?

I own my own company, so I've never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn't sell. I've always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I've always had people buying them.

I wish you didn't have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important.

I like to literally put women on a pedestal

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 has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.

I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They're interested in people.
