I am keenly aware that I benefit from a wonderful tradition in the UK of designing and making.

As a Business Ambassador, I am delighted to help both new and established British designers receive the recognition they deserve in the global fashion arena.

I think it's a great thing to support fashion and support designers.

I'm very proud to be British, and my brand is British.

I thought, If people are going to write about what I'm wearing, then I would wear young British designers who need the publicity.

British fashion is self confident and fearless. It refuses to bow to commerce, thus generating a constant flow of new ideas whilst drawing in British heritage.

The United Kingdom has traditionally been a very small market, and even though you had such a creative group of designers, they represented a risk to department stores.

Dear London, British fashion is a serious business. The British fashion industry is worth £21bn to the U.K. economy and employs 819,000 people across the country. With your help, we would like to see these numbers rise for the good of our industry, our talented designers, and our reputation worldwide.

I love the British.

I don't wear particular designers. I wear whoever fits me well.
