I grew up in an African household, so lots of chicken, lots of rice. We ate Jollof rice, a very West African dish.

In my work, I have always tried to push the boundaries of what fashion can do.

I take random inspiration from everywhere.

The fashion industry needs to breed a whole different way of thinking. We need more diverse people working in all facets of the industry.

I come from a family who didn't have much money but raised me to believe that money wasn't the most important thing in the world. We had enough; we were happy.

If you put one model in a show or in an ad campaign, that doesn't solve the problem. We need teachers in universities. We need internships. We need people of different ethnic backgrounds in all parts of the industry. That really is the solution: you have to change it from the inside.

People of power have to show empathy and kindness to the young.

Social media and technology are democratising and opening up fashion and the process of fashion for all - this has good and bad sides, but that comes with any change.

I've learned to put a big value on having a life outside of fashion, and I think that's what's saved me, because the fashion industry can suck you in.
