If people stop liking my clothes, I'll make a record.
You have to be hopeful that people will be more educated in how they buy things, and hopefully more luxury brands will start to think that way on a longer-term basis.
It's one of my biggest internal struggles - the whole schooling system in London and the fact that my kids are going to a posh school. It freaks me out.
Now, get out there and kick ass!
I think the moment that I'm very proud of is building a business without using animals. And, hopefully, changing people's perception of how you can do luxury fashion.
It's not realistic to live in the country at this stage. I've got a business in London. I beat myself up about it all the time.
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...
I can honestly say this industry hasn't made me neurotic about my looks, except maybe my weight. I hope my clothes kind of reflect that. They're meant to make you feel good.
You feel like everyone hates you if you've got a good life, now I feel maybe it's allowed because I've had my share of sadness.
It's immoral that people make money out of writing crap, but I try not to obsess about it. I don't want to spend my life being angry.
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 bala...
The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.
I'm incredibly sad that my mother's not here to see my kids and that my kids don't get to know her. And she didn't meet my husband. That's one of the hardest things. I don't even know how to put that into words.
I personally love sportswear, and love using it in high fashion.
I love that you can have the language between the two worlds of technology and fashion, because I don't think that many designers get to do that.
At times I make music, but in private.
I literally have meetings at eight o'clock in the morning, and I finish at nine o'clock at night. It sounds pathetic, but I don't even have time to go shopping.
I ride my bike, I work out, I do a bit of, er, dancey things.
