I'm An Old Bag - I Like

Peter Hinwood Found All These Old Pictures - Polaroids - And When I Saw Them, I Just Didn't Believe That The Person In Them Was Connected With Me. I Was In A Hotel Room With One Of Those Front-and-back Mirrors, And I Thought, Who The Hell Is That? I Used To Be Thin As A Rake. I Used To Have The Nice-shaped Pecs. It's Sad. No, It's Not Sad, It's The Reality, And I've Accepted This Now.

You Put High Heels On And You Change.

The Most Tragic Moment Of My Life Was The First Show I Ever Designed For. I Had Been Asked To Make Shoes For Ossie Clark's Show In The Early '70s. I Was So Inexperienced That I Didn't Put The Steel In The Heels Of The Shoes, Which Is Required To Support The Shoe And The Wearer. So The Girls Came Out Walking Very Strangely In These Rubber, Bendy High-heeled Shoes I Had Made. I Thought 'oh Dear God! This Is The End Of Me.' But After The Show, Even David Hockney And Cecil Beaton Said To Me 'it Was So Interesting That The Girls Were Moving In Such A Different Way.'

I'm A Doodler. It Was My First Job As A Boy, And I Still Do It. At Night I Keep A Block Of Paper And A Pencil With A Huge Piece Of String Next To Me. When I Have An Idea, I Grab The String And Just Doodle.

I Forget About The Diseases That I Have. I Don't Want To Know.
