I Am Married To Work.

I Like Things To Be Modern And Still Have A Bit Of Tradition

There Are Only A Handful Of Designers That Influence Other Designers, And I Have To Keep One Step Ahead Of The Game.

I Am Constantly Trying To Reflect The Way Women Are Treated. It's Hard To Interpret That In Clothes Or In A Show But There's Always An Underlying, Sinister Side To Women's Sexuality In My Work Because Of The Way I Have Seen Women Treated In My Life. Where I Come From, A Woman Met A Man, Had Babies, Moved To Dagenham, Two Up Two Down, Made The Dinner, Went To Bed. That Was My Image Of Women And I Didn't Want That. I Wanted To Get That Out Of My Head.

British Fashion Is Self Confident And Fearless. It Refuses To Bow To Commerce, Thus Generating A Constant Flow Of New Ideas Whilst Drawing In British Heritage.

It's A New Era In Fashion - There Are No Rules. It's All About The Individual And Personal Style, Wearing High-end, Low-end, Classic Labels, And Up-and-coming Designers All Together.
