breeding ground incredible inspiring
Paris is one of the fashion capitals of the world and such an incredible breeding ground for designers. You can't help but find it an inspiring place.
boards next somewhere studio
It's a real luxury to have a studio all to myself, somewhere to start mood boards for the next collection.
Remember, its all about you and the dress. Nothing more, so keep the accessories very discreet.
brick lane loved
I loved being in London. Always walking everywhere, always out and about and always at markets, walking around Brick Lane and Covent Garden and Soho.
love power
I love long power walks in the countryside.
arc fantastic louvre love moody near pool saint
I like the Hotel Costes, on rue Saint Honore, a boutique hotel near the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Tuileries. I love the dark, moody decor as well as the fantastic scented, candlelit pool in the basement.
women
It should be natural, and that's how I like women to look. I like them to feel comfortable and look organic.
best far minimalist
As far as accessories are concerned, I think it is always best to be as minimalist as possible.
age attempted chinese collar drape feather loved massive obsessed three whose
When I was a child, I was always nicking my mum's jewellery to wear, and I loved to drape a massive Chinese shawl around me from our fancy-dress box. I was obsessed with a feather and rabbit-fur collar from the age of three and attempted to make one with my friend, whose father was a gamekeeper.
I used to be frustrated about being called bohemian, but I don't really care now. If that's what you are, you should celebrate it.
I think I'd go mad if I didn't have a place to escape to.
I like to be real. I don't like things to be staged or fussy.
I have an obsession with details and pattern.
cannes carpet colours deeper depends dressing flattering heavy opposite true
Red carpet dressing all depends on the climate. I think richer, deeper colours are more flattering on the body, but the opposite is true if you are in Cannes or St. Tropez where the light makes deep colours look heavy and unflattering.
