fashion fashion-business
In this [fashion] business you're living in the future a lot of the time.
creating inspire new-work
I'm just in the business of creating; creating new work inspires you to create new work. It's kind of funny.
ideas energy
The ideas can come from anywhere; the energy just comes from loving what I do.
design barbie firsts
The first design I created was a circular skirt for my Barbie when I was 7.
fashion reality careers
I don't know if I'm all that famous. When I first started my idea of what a career in fashion would look like is very different to the reality now.
careers
There are a lot of things about my career now that are as I imagined, hoped for and worked towards.
years salad week
Well there are a lot of things I like to eat but at this time of year I'm finding I'm making fig and chèvre salad at least once a week and that's a combo that's hard to beat.
dresses body
Body-con dresses have never been something I've been into.
technology media iphone
We grew up with social media. There was no iPhone when we started! I love technology; I love what it does to my life. What I really love about social media and the Internet is that it has shifted the power it has democratised everything.
beautiful hard-work garden
I loved the idea that people dressed up to go to the gardens. Our work always has a utility point of view at its heartbeat and then other things come around it, so it really allowed us to use denims and suedes and gauzes, and those sorts of hard-working fabrics - workwear fabrics - and then contrast them with crepe de chine, beautiful florals and big jewelry.
yoga half hours
Always half an hour a day where it's just me and my yoga mat.
mirrors house leaving
Always take one last look in a full-length mirror before leaving the house.
currents collections
I always like the current one [collection] the most, that's just my nature!
pressure nails week
I only feel the pressure when we are coming up against a deadline and it's like, actually no we really have to nail this in a week!
