"I love historical references." — Giles Deacon

I don't believe in a recipe for success. You have to work hard; you may not always get it right - you have to bounce back from situations, and you have to be really focused and determined. It's important to have fun as well. Work shouldn't be a torture.

I don't design for wallflowers.

I like women to have life, personalities. Women who would perhaps cause some trouble on a night out and have a lot to say for themselves.

I've always drawn a lot. I like the idea of turning a 2-D sketch into a 3-D thing very quickly. And clothing is really good for that.

My designs at Ungaro are a lot more sexual, in more of an obvious way: my personal designers are a little bit more sideways.

The name Holly Fulton has become synonymous with daring, bold graphic prints which you just know if you wear you'll have a brilliant time in.

Students are up to their eyeballs in loans, and it's going to get even worse. It's going to be hideous, actually. Students are going to be saddled for life. It's going to put a lot of people off going to college, which is a shame.

I did an art foundation course, and I knew I wanted to do something in a creative field. And fashion just seemed like the most fun.
