I travel a lot, and I hunt for fabrics, then I have the tailor make me something.

Tailoring your clothes makes all the difference.

I like fashion. My mum was a dressmaker, believe it or not, so the consequence of that was that all my clothes were homemade, and I looked like a terrible mess until I was old enough to buy my own. But I love good tailoring.

I think good tailoring and something that's well-made never gets boring or tiring.

I like the idea of men's tailoring on girls. It's very strong and sexy in a non-overt way.

So, after school, I needed to learn a trade and started to work as a tailor.

I'm kind of pleased with myself that I've got a tailor on Savile Row. I'm 68 years old. I deserve it.

Everyone should have a tailor. David Wilkes, the guy who does my stuff, is like, 'Well you're a writer - do you want a special pen compartment or something?' Bespoke: That's the term you want to get out there.

If you're wearing suits and you want to create your own sense of style, get to the tailor.
