Very early, I thought I would go into music, but I was aware that it would bring a set of obstacles I didn't find particularly attractive. Also, I'm not a great performer! For a while, I thought I would do something in landscape gardening. But it was always fashion for me.

My job is to make desirable, luxurious, beautiful clothing and accessories women want to buy. My first decision is always based on, 'Can I do this in a more sustainable way without sacrificing design?' If I can, then there is no reason not to.

Everyone can do simple things to make a difference, and every little bit really does count.

I think my differences were, and my differences still are, that I don't really approach fashion in a fashiony way.

When you find the person that you settle down with, I guess you mellow. They are taming you, aren't they? Or you're taming them.

If you try to create something people enjoy, and it happens to be made in a responsible way, then that's when you can really strike an incredible balance.
