I think there is some resistance when people talk about ethical fashion, and a tendency to panic that if you're bringing a moral agenda and highlighting the origins of the garments, you can't incorporate style. But there's no reason why style and conscience can't co-exist.

I basically made it my mission to prove that ethical fashion isn't frumpy and bland.

I don't think fashion is evil.

I think the responsibility lies with the fashion world as a collective. We have to demand more variety.

In just about every area of society, there's nothing more important than ethics.

There's this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals.

Design certainly has a cosmetic, aesthetic aim. It always aims at making things beautiful. But relevance is just as important. I often say, 'If it isn't ethical, it can't be beautiful. But if it isn't beautiful, it probably shouldn't be at all.'

Fashion is almost like a religion, for me at least.

Fashion is life-enhancing, and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.

When a person is in fashion, all they do is right.
