I Work With People I

I Work With People I Admire And Respect. It's Never Because Of Who They Are.

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.

I Think Sometimes I Might Scare The Editors, Because They Might Feel They're Getting Old And They're Not Understanding It. The Problem Lies On Their Side Of The Fence, Not Mine. I Come From A Different Era And I Design Clothes For Our Era.

I Used Flowers Because They Die. My Mood Was Darkly Romantic At The Time.

Animals Fascinate Me Because You Can Find A Force, An Energy, A Fear That Also Exists In Sex.
