I love high-end designers, but a head-to-toe designer look for me is extremely boring. I've always mixed it up.

In regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful.

The key to personal style is understanding your individual beauty enough to know which looks will work for you and which probably won't.

I want to show my personality through my designs and stay pretty anonymous outside the industry.

This is what I like about being a designer: You can't really get it until you see it.

I don't think many people would think I'm a designer. I behave in a different way. I'd get knocked down and cut to pieces if I went home and flounced about; this industry is known for the flounciness, but I've got my feet on the ground.

It's important to find what really suits who you are, because style isn't only what you wear, it's what you project.

I don't wear much makeup, except during work. I felt lucky to be chosen to be a model. I used to joke, 'The next best thing to winning the lottery is having a beauty contract.'

I don't usually wear a lot of makeup because I tend to like a natural look.

Every day I'd say I look different. Sometimes I look really formal, sometimes I love the classic Stella McCartney, Chloe Sevigny and Gwyneth Paltrow thing. Other days I like being rock star and wearing leather jackets and studs. I love wearing Burberry - it's the perfect combination of formal and punky.
