antiques pieces favourite
My favourite finds are often antique pieces with a history.
behave cut home industry known people pieces
I don't think many people would think I'm a designer. I behave in a different way. I'd get knocked down and cut to pieces if I went home and flounced about; this industry is known for the flounciness, but I've got my feet on the ground.
edit pieces wardrobe work
I keep only a small edit in my wardrobe because I think it is important to keep things moving through, and I like to find out which pieces from my collections work and which could be reworked and improved.
fashion thinking elegance
I think fashion can always date, but I think if a woman has elegance, she doesnt date.
style twists classic
Eclectic yet classic with a playful bohemian twist is how Id describe my style.

With celebrity being our new religion, it's increasingly difficult to start up on your own. Talented young designers are more likely to either go and work for celebrity brands or huge fashion houses than ever before.

Paris is one of the fashion capitals of the world and such an incredible breeding ground for designers. You can't help but find it an inspiring place.
