Designer

People think of me and think, 'Ibiza and hippy look.' I'm trying to expand.

It's always better when travelling to be in a place where your friends know the area well.

I think the woman who buys my dress also wants a beautiful pillow.

A catwalk show is just how it's done; it's just what you do - it's central to the presentation of a collection. It will be a very brave designer who gives up the catwalk entirely in favour of a digital show.

In England, it's always raining, and I feel like I'm expert in that field.

I try to go to Marrakesh if there's a Bank Holiday weekend.

It's just fantastic to have someone like the Duchess of Cambridge wear the brand. I think there are often misconceptions about who the brand is for, but it's not just a 20-year-old blonde girl on the beach, and Kate is testament to that.

The V&A is an amazing museum, and the collections have always been a great inspiration to me.

I always wanted to be a designer and always felt surprised as a child when my sister used to deliberate about whether to be a nurse or a teacher.

In a digital age, I still love sending and receiving cards, hand-writing notes, and wrapping gifts.

My womenswear line would translate well into childrenswear.

The peacock has become one of my regular sources of inspiration from nature.

I wanted to create a bridal collection that is both a natural extension of the mainline eveningwear but, at the same time, reflects the opulence of such an important celebratory event.

I'm curious about the mix of the effortless bohemian thing with the very modern.

I've only dealt with fabulous brides!

Leather has a real durability and functionality.

The last thing I want to appear is remotely jaded or bitter, which it could come across the wrong way.

I guess I will always be known as a designer who references Ibiza, even though I've only been to the island a couple of times in my early twenties.

My mum has always been a huge inspiration for me and my work. She loves fashion and has always been so supportive.

I wasn't inspired by lunatic asylums or anything like that.
