I Feel More Scottish Than Norman.

You've Got To Know The Rules To Break Them.

For Me, What I Do Is An Artistic Expression Which Is Channeled Through Me. Fashion Is Just The Medium.

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.

I Want To Be Honest About The World That We Live In, And Sometimes My Political Persuasions Come Through In My Work. Fashion Can Be Really Racist, Looking At The Clothes Of Other Cultures As Costumes. . . . That’s Mundane And It’s Old Hat. Let’s Break Down Some Barriers.

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.
