fashion designer fashion-designer
I don't consider myself a fashion designer.
selfish care sound
I do enjoy my own company. I cannot imagine anybody entertaining me more than I do. If it sounds selfish, I don't care. I made it a religion almost.
fashion paris paramount
Paris is paramount for fashion, always was - always will be.
blur 80s
Really, the '70s and '80s were a blur.
trends interest
Trends don't interest me.
beautiful vision too-much
I saw this vision with a beautiful plastic bag in Kensington High Street, ... and then you didn't see the face because he had this blond thing [indicating a sweeping fringe across his face] that was, you know, too much!
football stars player
I am not a movie star or a football player, I just do my thing.
chocolate
I eat a lot of chocolate.
loyalty sound wanted
] I'm loyal to my thoughts, to my friends. This is what I really like the best. Loyalty. Sounds goody-goody. Maybe that's not the one you wanted.
years shoes two
You get two weeks after you do a shoe where you can test whether it's good or not - if you're going to like it in 20 years. Then I know that it's going to be my shoe for a long time. That doesn't happen very often, but it happens.
young young-women
I don't like very young women very much. Never did.
beautiful girl moving
I think Lucy Ferry, now Birley, is absolutely beautiful. She's a modern girl, but she moves beautifully. Amanda [Harlech] moves beautifully when she's not working. All those English leftover society girls.
memories mad people
You'd see extraordinary-looking people around in the '70s. It was so exciting! You'd have mad people, like Gerlinde [Kostiff] riding around on her bicycle with a huge hat. Everybody was doing things. I don't have any bad memories of that period.
old-things bags
I'm an old bag - I like old thing.
