I used to always fight for human rights. I still fight for Leonard Peltier, who's spent 35 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.

Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.

I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.

If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.

Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.

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.

I am always trying to find fabrics that are more friendly to the environment - working with Virgin Atlantic, they managed to research into this and find more eco fabrics.
