"I design for myself and the first question I ask is, 'Would I wear it?'"

"It's very difficult today for girls to become supermodels. There is a lot more competition, a lot of countries in the East have opened up so there are many more models than there were in the Nineties. Now they have to compete with famous actresses but also with, say, reality stars to be on the magazine covers."

"Nobody has time to keep trying on a load of things in the morning like a teenager."
