Did you always want to be a designer? 2

Not at all! When I was at school I had problems


reading, and later I was diagnosed as dyslexic.
(1) After school I did a secretarial course
and then I got a job at Vogue magazine.
I loved it, and there I realized that what I wanted
to do was design clothes.

Why do you think people like


your clothes?
Being a female designer has many advantages.
(2) My customers leave the studio feeling
a million dollars!

What nationality do you think has the


best fashion sense?
Probably the Italians. (3)

Have you ever been to a fancy


dress party?
I hate fancy dress parties. But I can remember
one, when I was ten.

What did you go as?


My mother made me and my younger sister
dress as a bride and bridegroom – I was the
bridegroom! (4)

Have you ever met someone who was


wearing exactly the same as you?
Never, thank goodness! I’m lucky because I can
choose from a large selection of our Collection
each season!

Have you ever fallen over because you 3
were wearing very high heels?
I’ve never fallen over, but once I had to take
off my shoes in the middle of a reception at the
House of Lords! (5)

What did you do?


I walked out into the street in bare feet and
jumped into a taxi!

Have you ever designed clothes for


a man?
Yes, I have.

When was it?


It was when I was studying at the London College
of Fashion. I designed my first Men’s Wear
collection – shirts, trousers and leather jackets.
(6) He didn’t need to buy any clothes
that year!
