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.

I literally have meetings at eight o'clock in the morning, and I finish at nine o'clock at night. It sounds pathetic, but I don't even have time to go shopping.

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.
