I like having a tailor everywhere because I am everywhere.

I collect a lot of clothes when I travel around the world.

My wardrobe consists of antique clothes, many of my designs, plus shoes and shirts from Brooks Brothers and Paul Stuart.

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

Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.

I design some of my own clothes now.

I love fashion, I'm actually a pretty talented seamstress, so I can make stuff for myself, but that's really time-consuming.

I've always been quite thrifty. I can't bear to spend hundreds of pounds on designer clothes. I shop in second-hand shops in Portobello Road and go to Sue Ryder.

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