I do like the idea of women not showing too much, of them being quite reserved in a way, and quite covered.
From Phoebe Philo
I never had a massive desire to buy clothes. I liked to customise the clothes I already had or was given when I was younger. If I didn't like them that much, I made them how I wanted them to be.
My relationship with fashion is playful and very expressive of what I'm feeling at the time.
I want to show my personality through my designs and stay pretty anonymous outside the industry.
I'm just not very interested in decoration.
When I was deciding whether or not to take the job at Celine, I didn't really look at the history of the house. I had other offers to come back, but they weren't right, or they wouldn't let me stay in London, which was non-negotiable.
Time is my biggest luxury. Finding time to do things outside of fashion, which I think for a designer is incredibly important.
I feel very much that I am a human being, with human limitations, and I need to respect that.
I don't believe in making fashion difficult.
My favourite eras for styles are still the 70s and 40s, and there will be a few iconic pieces to build the wardrobe around, like there were at Chloe, but I want there to be a feel of mix-and-match.
