I like that bold pop, but without being too in your face.

I like things to be quite poppy, quite graphic -- it's quite a London sensibility. I'm not looking for 'pretty' or 'nice. Stripes are always a huge thing for me. I'm obsessed with stripes. I like a graphic flower print, not a delicate Liberty (of London) print, and I like uniform prints.

Too much is never enough.

Usually when I'm thinking about the story behind the girl of the collection, I'm thinking about the things she loves and then the prints just sort of come.

This, I suppose, makes me such a sauce-box, and bold-face, and a creature, and all because I won't be a sauce-box and bold-face indeed.

A person can recover their lives. They can live full, healthy lives in the community and independently.
