The Police Need To Come Down To

I Oscillate Between Life And Death, Happiness And Sadness, Good And Evil.

Some Designers Are So Airy-fairy People Can't Connect With Them. I Hope People Can Relate To Me, To A Normal Person Who Just Happens To Be A Fashion Designer, That People Can Take Me As They Find Me. It's Not The Designer's Job To Care About What People Think. Whatever Else I've Done, I've Never Tried To Be Something That I'm Not.

When We Put The Antlers On The Model And Then Draped Over It The Lace Embroidery That We Had Made, We Had To Poke Them Through A £2,000 Piece Of Work. But Then It Worked Because It Looks Like She's Rammed The Piece Of Lace With Her Antlers. There's Always Spontaneity. You've Got To Allow For That In My Shows.

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.

You Can Get Insular With Fashion.
