love theatrical
I always used to love couture because it was more theatrical than the runways. The runways always felt more like part of the machine.
beaten definitely fourth hear london
I hear it's beaten London to fourth place and it's definitely making its mark.
purple littles tights
I would like better colouration of my legs, like a little less of that English mottled purple thing that makes it necessary to wear tights all the time.
girl eye together
Im just a lipgloss, blush and mascara kind of girl. I like playing with a bright lipstick or a heavy eye... But not together!
beautiful nice love-is
I love beautiful things; I like having nice clothes, and I can appreciate why other people do - but I've also started to learn more about the impact of what we buy: how things are made, how much you buy and the quality of everything.
clothes role-playing roles
I kind of see clothes a bit like role-playing, depending what mood I'm in.
art successful thinking
I think a lot of the most interesting work in art and in films are often kind of polarized opinions and affect people in very different ways, which may be less successful commercially, but they elicit a dialogue that's quite interesting.
strange coincidence reason
I part-own a bookshop for some strange coincidence of reasons, and it is one of the best things I part-own in my life, or own in my life. I do not know, it just feels great.
priorities important needs
The need to protect the environment has emerged as an undeniably important priority for me.
fashion odds may
Production chains, how consumers can drive change: all these things may seem at odds with fashion, but arguably, they're not.
america guy going-out
America has had an influence on me, as has going out with a Cuban-American guy and having lots of American friends. But I am still fundamentally British and speak with a British accent and feel very English.
fashion believe creativity
It's not that I don't believe in creativity and innovation and new ideas, and the creativity that comes with fashion, which I really respect. But one of my biggest concerns is just how cheap we expect everything to be.
real fall icons
Marilyn Monroe and Vivienne Leigh are real icons of mine. In terms of visual culture, they are both so iconic. There weren't any paparazzi shots of them falling out of taxis, so they will always look so incredible.
thinking ideas forever
I don't personally follow trends; I don't even like the idea of trends. I think it's kind of absurd that you have to change every six months, so I always try and buy things that hopefully I'll like forever, and resonate with me.
