Well, I mean, it's a hard one, like a tongue
twister! So basically, Raymond Duchamp-Villon is the brother of Marcel Duchamp,
and he was a cubist sculptor and he really influenced me this season, so that's
why I really wanted to do a futuristic cubist approach.
Last season your collection was very
three-dimensional, this season you worked more on incorporating your print
designs. Was there a specific fabric or range of fabrics you used to create
your collection this season?
Silk chiffon, silk rayon, silk
jersey...Everything's silk, and neoprene!
I have to ask; where did you find your shoes
(platform lace-up ankle heel boots) for this collection?
They're from Jeffrey Campbell; I got them from
America.
Do you have a favourite place in London? A
place you go to for inspiration?
I like my studio. Literally I am a hermit. I live
and work in my studio.
Have you started planning for next season
yet?
I'm definitely going to go into real architecture;
there's going to be a load of 3D things.
How has Vauxhall Fashion Scout affected your
life?
Well they've started me! They billed me from day
one; I was there for Ones To Watch then Merit Award then this season, I mean,
my whole PR strategy comes from them...They have been really supportive, I owe
a lot to them!
