I always find it difficult to dress in between seasons, but I quite like putting T-shirts on with a vest over the top and another layer so you can peel them back as the day goes on.

Fabrics and lining make a big difference in the garment. If you're buying an expensive trench coat, and it's lined in something cheap, it doesn't feel as nice.

I've treated the waistcoat as if it were a corset, so that it becomes the first layer in the process of putting clothes on the body. There is constant motion between layering and revealing.

I very rarely wear suits, and only make one or two per season, so it's about wanting exceptional clothes that don't feel stiff. Fabric and garment washing are a big part of my design process for that reason. Everything needs to feel lived-in and comfortable.

Winter dressing is all about having chic outerwear.

Dressing is a way of life.

I love dressing for the winter - especially in baggy chunky cardigans.

I love layering things. Fall is my favorite time of the year to get dressed.

Whenever I pick up a jacket and it's heavy, I think, 'Oh, I don't want to wear that.'

Dressing up is like therapy; I feel better in myself when I've made an effort.
