fashion and-love high-fashion
I personally love sportswear, and love using it in high fashion.
thinking work-out want
You want to be confident when you work out because it takes a lot to make you work out. So many women really enjoy it, but it's a hard thing and you have to make yourself do it most of the time. I think you want to feel that you look good to make you want to work out a little bit more.
jobs challenges everyday
My biggest surprises in my everyday job have to do with the challenges of trying to be slightly more responsible as a brand.
animal impact belief
The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.
real people design
I get a real kick out of it, seeing people wear my designs.
people enthusiastic turns
I'd rather people turn up than not. And of course I'd rather have people be enthusiastic.
hands skins needs
I don't use specific brands really. It's just that for my skin, I need as high an SPF factor as I can get my hands on. That's the only rule.
clothes feel-good looks
I can honestly say this industry hasn't made me neurotic about my looks, except maybe my weight. I hope my clothes kind of reflect that. They're meant to make you feel good.
the-end-of-the-day life-is ends
At the end of the day I separate things; my life is my life and my work is my work.
attractive
Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time,
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.
clothes people records
If people stop liking my clothes, I'll make a record.
girl gorgeous dori
I loved all those Doris Day visuals of her being a tomboy and then changing into this gorgeous girl in a ballgown.
