Print some money and give it to us for the rain forests.
sexy fashion giving
Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It's always sexy, and it's always with the same result: making women look fantastic.
hair giving today
If you hear Anarchy in the UK today your hair stands on end. It gives you the shivers.
fashion voice giving
I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I'm a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.
inspirational fashion giving
Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
I'm the proof - you can't throw away tradition.
Fashion is life-enhancing, and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
endangered
I do think we're an endangered species. But that we do have a plan to save the rainforest.
time
I am in my own head most of the time.
against believe cool government hippies message movement people proud punk stand
The reason why I am proud of my part in the punk movement is that I think it really did implant a message that was already there. The hippies told it to me, but punk made it something cool for people to stand up for, which is that we do not believe government, that we are against government.
Popular culture is a contradiction in terms. If it's popular, it's not culture.
I urge everyone to be trendsetters for Azza Suleiman. Let's make it one fashion which everyone will want to follow.
again anybody great notice unless
I don't notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.
