fall kids balance
I didn't want to be thirtysomething and not know what I was going to do. I was quite afraid of that, there were quite a lot of aimless kids around, in that 'other' side of my life, who didn't really know what to do because they always had a bank balance to fall back on and they were quite lost.
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.
beautiful needs hopefully
The main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer
fashion together earth
I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.
people easy wanted
I never wanted to make it too easy for people to sum me up.
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.
dream photography fashion
When you think of fashion photography, it's a dream. It's like we all want to be those women. We want to wear those dresses.
laughter fire-within laughing
Laugh my friend, for laughter ignites a fire within the pit of your belly and awakens your being.
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.
dna decision trying
We try to make earth-friendly decisions whenever we can, as it's part of our brand DNA.
real looks matter
It's not about what it looks like in the studio or on the runway. It's what it looks like on a real person that matters.
thinking animal people
There's nothing fashionable about a dead animal that has been cruelly killed just because some people think it looks cool to wear.
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.
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.
