Menswear Is About Subtlety. It's About Good

I Think The Idea Of Mixing Luxury And Mass-market Fashion Is Very Modern, Very Now - No One Wears Head-to-toe Designer Anymore.

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.

You Can Get Insular With Fashion.

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.

Birds In Flight Fascinate Me. I Admire Eagles And Falcons. I’m Inspired By A Feather But Also Its Color, Its Graphics, Its Weightlessness And Its Engineering. It’s So Elaborate. In Fact I Try And Transpose The Beauty Of A Bird To Women.
