You've Got To Know The Rules To

I Am Constantly Trying To Reflect The Way Women Are Treated. It's Hard To Interpret That In Clothes Or In A Show But There's Always An Underlying, Sinister Side To Women's Sexuality In My Work Because Of The Way I Have Seen Women Treated In My Life. Where I Come From, A Woman Met A Man, Had Babies, Moved To Dagenham, Two Up Two Down, Made The Dinner, Went To Bed. That Was My Image Of Women And I Didn't Want That. I Wanted To Get That Out Of My Head.

If You're Lucky Enough To Use Something You See In A Dream, It Is Purely Original. It's Not In The World - It's In Your Head. I Think That Is Amazing.

I Want To Be Honest About The World That We Live In, And Sometimes My Political Persuasions Come Through In My Work. Fashion Can Be Really Racist, Looking At The Clothes Of Other Cultures As Costumes. . . . That’s Mundane And It’s Old Hat. Let’s Break Down Some Barriers.

I Am An Avid Follower Of The News, And Sometimes You Just Can't Take Any More War, Any More Disasters, And You Want To Remind Yourself There's Beauty In The World. I Wanted To Show A More Poetic Side To My Work. It Was All About... A Feeling Of Sadness, But In A Cinematic Kind Of Way. I Find Beauty In Melancholy.

I Was Never A Big Networker, But I Was A Spin Doctor, All Those Shock Shows, That's How I Got My First Backers. But Fashion's A Scary Industry To Be In, Especially If You've Not Grown Up With It.
