What's good about many people liking the work is that when I want to collaborate or am interested in the synergy of artists working together, nobody ever says no to me when I ask to work with them.
The first thing we do is sit around a table and discuss what we could pick up from daily life, from space. That's how it starts, completely abstract. There's no kind of, "Oh, let's do Peru," or "Let's do pleats," you know?
Every time before a collection, I say, "I don't want it to come out. I want to cancel it. It's not good. I haven't achieved anything."
In the '70s, if anything, it was a more interesting time in fashion. It was a time when things were changing, especially in London.
I'd make my whole collection with just one square of fabric. I wouldn't do anything else; everything had to be made from one square. This is just one example.
