Fashion is not frivolous. It is a part of being alive today.

I still like the King's Road. It is very alive; it is a hustle of things from different countries and so on. It is lovely.

I designed the miniskirt that caused so much havoc in the Sixties - the miniskirt that was such fun but has travelled well to today.

Fashion is a very ongoing, renewing thing, about change and reaching for the next thing. You are permanently dissatisfied, and it's always got to get better.

When I opened my first shop, city gents were still carrying tightly furled umbrellas and wearing bowler hats. It was into this world that I launched my new ideas about fashion.

Having money is rather like being a blond. It is more fun but not vital.
