I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.
I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.
The consumption of animals - whether you're wearing them or eating them - is extraordinarily damaging to the planet. There are over a billion animals killed a year for food, half of which don't even get eaten. And there's over 50 million animals killed just for fashion.
I think the moment that I'm very proud of is building a business without using animals. And, hopefully, changing people's perception of how you can do luxury fashion.
When you think of fashion photography, it's a dream. It's like we all want to be those women. We want to wear those dresses.
I used to get embarrassed about the fact I liked fashion. I still get a bit cringy.
I personally love sportswear, and love using it in high fashion.
I love that you can have the language between the two worlds of technology and fashion, because I don't think that many designers get to do that.
I ride my bike, I work out, I do a bit of, er, dancey things.
