Design and the urgency to preserve it - not as a museum relic, as a living experience. And for me, something that lives alongside mass-produced goods. I'm not saying get away from it. My battle is there is a marketplace for what people wear and what they eat and care about how things are made and not just that they were made, and that's the core focus. I know where things come from, I know their families. I do that throughout my life - I know who makes my suits, and I know where my eggs come from. Everyone and everything is accounted for and has accountability.

My inspiration is love and history.

I have always had a sense of curiosity and aspiration.

It's beyond my control how I'm perceived.

People who know me know that theres a light-hearted side, humour... But you could easily say I am cheeky.

I love driving in the city at night.

I travel a lot, and I hunt for fabrics, then I have the tailor make me something.
