The 'Best of British' is a positive thing that's bandied around, but also it's applied pressure to our country in terms of economic growth.

crowd dead experience famous fantasy front high historical insular interpret mean men physical played playing quite though trying
With high fashion, it's a performance. You're trying to interpret a fantasy in a very physical way, and you really are playing a character. I've played men, dead people, famous people, historical icons, and it's no mean feat. It's quite an insular experience even though the crowd is in front of you and there's an expectation.

As I began to get a deeper understanding of the vital life-saving work Save the Children does, I felt compelled to help in any way I could. This is about safe-keeping, inspiring and empowering a future generation - to facilitate them to make their own lives a little bit better.
