I'm a designer, not a businesswoman.

Photography obviously lends itself so well towards fashion. It's capturing that moment and that inspiration, and as a designer you are constantly walking through the world assimilating those visual references you have and so being able to solidify that into a photograph and keep it on your mood board is essential to creating a collection.

I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours, but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.

I love vintage and prints.

We don't leave home without my daughter's doll La-La. She looks like a bit of a rag, but India is obsessed with her.

I'm an enormous fan of Ron Howard. I mean, he's the most extraordinary director.
