I love Kate Moss. I've worked with her a couple of times, and she is a great girl, really funny and easy to work with.

Jamie Oliver's books are the best. I love Jamie. Bless him!
boring fluctuate love taking time
I love exercise, but I find it boring doing the same thing all the time, so I fluctuate between going to the gym, doing Pilates, and taking dance lessons.
beautiful bed designing great life line love loves natural pleasures seemed sleep
Sleep is one of the great pleasures of life. Designing my bed linen line seemed like a natural progression for me. Everyone loves getting into a bed made up with beautiful linen. I love sewing, I love fabrics, and I love sleeping.
chance clothes collection constantly design discovered early head ideas learned love passion sew wear
Even before I was discovered in 1966, I used to make my own clothes. I learned how to sew early on, and it's still my passion now. I constantly have ideas in my head about clothes so jumped at the chance to do my own collection and am very hands-on. Everything I design, I wear and I love.
both jeans love plain switch
I love corduroy jeans as well as vertical-striped jeans. Both are a fun switch from plain old denim. They can be slimming so long as the stripes aren't too chunky.
design designers larger love slim
I'd love there to be more larger models, but it's just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls.
lovely fabric patterns
If I want to calm down, I'll buy some fabric, get a pattern, shut myself in a room and stay there for days, really happy. And at the end of it, you get a bedspread or some curtains or something to wear - it's lovely.
begging clothes shoot stuff year
M&S clothes just get better and better, year after year. I'm always begging for stuff from every shoot we do.
possible rule
My one big rule for the over-40s is don't try to dress like an 18-year-old. It's possible to be 'on-trend' when you're older - you just have to look for the right stuff. You don't have to spend a fortune, either.
buy copy elder fabric hated liked looked
My elder sister used to get the fashion magazines, and I would go through them and find things I liked and buy fabric and copy them. But I hated what I looked like. I mean, I was sooo skinny.
balance great key shape
The key with a full-skirt shape is to balance it out with a great figure-hugging top.
I was a very, very shy, insecure teenager.
golden good looking
My golden rules for looking good are to moisturise to ridiculousness with a really rich moisturiser. And I always take my make-up off before going to bed.
