attitude philosophy thinking
I think personal style starts from within because it´s a philosophy and an attitude. If you´re honest and true to yourself, you will have the best sense of personal style.
dna decision trying
We try to make earth-friendly decisions whenever we can, as it's part of our brand DNA.
beautiful animal skins
Depending on the season, between 20 and 30 percent of my collections contain some sort of eco or sustainable element, whether it's a beautiful organic fabric or a natural dye. And obviously I don't use animal skins or fur of any kind.
beautiful mother fashion
I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.
sexy attitude black
A little black dress is something to rely on. To fill you with confidence and ease. To have an attitude that is pure and effortless, yet sexy and classy.
fashion together earth
I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.
laughter fire-within laughing
Laugh my friend, for laughter ignites a fire within the pit of your belly and awakens your being.
dream people house
It's incredibly important that if you have the dream of having your own house, you don't pretend to be something you're not. Ultimately, it's unsustainable and people will see through. You have to work; you can't expect your dreams to be handed to you on a plate.
fashion technology thinking
I love that you can have the language between the two worlds of technology and fashion, because I don't think that many designers get to do that.
fashion animal years
The consumption of animals - whether you're wearing them or eating them - is extraordinarily damaging to the planet. There are over a billion animals killed a year for food, half of which don't even get eaten. And there's over 50 million animals killed just for fashion.
clothes people records
If people stop liking my clothes, I'll make a record.
makeup men thinking
I think my mum was really very ahead of her time. She wore very little makeup. She really explored the way that she wore clothes in a very honest way. She wore a lot of vintage stuff and mixed it with bespoke men's tailoring and things like that. That was a huge influence on me, seeing a woman in the spotlight carry herself in that kind of way. But mostly, for me, it was just that she was an incredibly honest and sort of natural person.
funny-inspirational shoes soul
Someone from Manolo Blahnik went into my shop and said: 'These shoes are not vegetarian.' That's the highest compliment, because you just can't tell that they are, and they are. My mum taught me to have a soul.
attractive
Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time,
