designer few heritage label link looked research saw speed synergy weekend
It's the only label I have ever really looked at, ... It is always important that there is synergy between designer and house, and he is one of few I feel a link with. I even went to Capri for the weekend and saw the whole lifestyle. I have done my research and feel up to speed with the heritage of the brand.

color long people
Color is the thing I'm best known for. If people pigeonhole me, so what? Long live the pink dress!
attitude clothes style
For me style has something to do with your inner attitude towards clothes and the awareness what sits well on yourself.
fashion real sitting
I remember sitting at the end of my mum's bed being fascinated by her ritual of getting dressed. It was a very methodical and considered process. I suppose you could say she was my first real muse.
hands color luxury
I wanted to start a menswear line of slim-fitting, luxury cashmere jumpers in a range of great colors. I know these jumpers will become season-less staples in my own wardrobe. Cashmere and silk printed scarves and hand-beaded T-shirts compliment the line and form a solid foundation for the collection to grow next season.
world toes
I've dipped my toe into the beauty world and I'd like to keep it there!
fashion dresses designer
I don't see myself as a pure fashion designer sending dress after dress down the runway but about wanting those watching my shows to aspire to a certain lifestyle.
fashion thinking people
I think the biggest shift is the way people look at and have access to fashion. It's already old the minute you've seen it, and we've already moved on. Fashion has become very in and out. Back in the days when I started, you would wait for Vogue to come out, and that is where you would see what people wore that month. Now we are looking at what someone is wearing this second.
