How did your experience with fashion start?

When I spent time as a child at my Grandparents I use to pull all my Grand Mother’s old bed sheets out in her cupboard then with a needle and thread sewed my sister into my creations while making her strut down their kitchen! I was only about 6 or 7 at the time! My great Grandfather was a Savile Row tailor.

When did you decide to be a fashion designer?

 I think sub-consciously when I was creating ‘kiddie Couture’!

While at school I developed a passion for textiles and fabric manipulation that just confirmed my belief in a creative path for myself.

What are your goals concerning your career?

I feel as a designer you should be able to design anything whether it is the layout of a page or a collection I have one goal ‘it needs to be creative and inspiring’.

What are your ambitions?All I have ever wanted was to empower women and make them feel strong, confident and sexy. Everything else is secondary.

Where do you see yourself in the future? On this planet!
